   5. General

      What is VLAN is not described in this document. Info on the VLAN protocol in general can be found at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/614/11.html Other info can also be found at http://www.netlab.ohio-state.edu/~jain/refs/lsw_refs.htm ftp://p8021:-go_wildcats@p8021.hep.net/8021/q-drafts/d11/q-d11.pdf

2. Software/Hardware (Cisco-specific setup, with some general info as well.)

   1. VLAN installation & Configuration on the Linux Side.

          I have:

          * Linux kernel 2.2.14
          * Vlan 0.0.10 Patched into it
          * Cisco Catalyst 2900XL
          * 3Com 3C509B NIC using patched driver 3c59x

          Currently VLAN is not part of the kernel distribution so you need to patch
          it into a supported Linux kernel and re-compile.

          You need the kernel source.  If you don't have it already, you can get from
          ftp.kernel.org or from one of its mirrors.  If this scares you, read the
          KERNEL-HOWTO.

          It is assumed that you have the linux kernel source extracted, and found at:
          $HOME/linux  If your setup is different, then some of these commands may
          need to be slightly different.

          Download the VLAN package from the vlan homepage and extract it's contents.
          tar -xvzf vlan*.tar.gz

          Go to the vlan directory, build the vlan tools by just typing:
          make

          After this you get a programm named <vconfig>. This program manages all VLAN
          specific configurations.

          Now patch the kernel.
          Go to the linux directory
          cd linux
          (if you installed the kernel source from some rpm based distribution it is
          something like /usr/src/linux)
          patch the kernel by typing:

          patch -p 1 < $HOME/vlan/vlan.patch (patch is in the vlan directory)

          Time to compile your kernel. Use the make menuconfig command in your
          linux directory to select your kernel options. The option related to
          802.1Q VLANs is found under the Networking options.

          Additional help for kernel compilation can be found in KERNEL-HOWTO

          Assuming your kernel compiled cleanly, you are now ready to use it.
          Install your kernel in the normal manner (fix up your /etc/lilo.conf file
          appropriately and run lilo as root.)
          Reboot your computer and choose your new kernel.

          As your computer comes back to life, there will be little sign that you are
          now 802.1Q capable.
          You should see something like this:

                  802.1Q VLAN Support v0.10  Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com>
                  vlan Initialization complete.

          Your system is now vlan ready, lets configure some vlans:
          I'm assuming that your VLAN capable network card is eth0.

          First, set the eth0 state to down:

          ifconfig eth0 down

      Ben's Note: Regarding the next section, you can run plain ethernet and VLAN over the same NIC, but you may not want to..

          Whatever your previous netconf was, you should move everything to vlans.
          This means, that you don't set ip address to the real interface, but set it to
          vlan interface. To set your eth0 with no ip:

          ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up

          !note!
          YOU MUST SET THE ETH0 TO UP, or it wont work. (ifconfig eth0 up)

          Add some vlans; goto your vlan directory where you previously compiled
          vconfig and type:

          vconfig add eth0 2

          ! Little note about VLAN 1. In Cisco systems it is the default VLAN
          so you MUST start using vlans from 2.

          This will create device vlan0002 to your system. Linux will think, that it
          is just another network device, so you can configure it like any other. Also
          you should see the interface by typing

          ifconfig -a

          Lets make some conf on the vlan then:
          ifconfig -i vlan0002 10.0.231.1 broadcast 10.0.231.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

          This ends the configuration at the linux side.

   2. Specific Extreme Networks Configuration

            From: Craig Metz: cmetz@inner.net

          Extreme configuration example:

            create vlan v42
            config vlan v42 tag 42
            config vlan v42 add port 10 tagged

            ... will create a vlan named v42, whose 802.1Q tag is 42, and connect port
          10 (tag 42) to that vlan.

   3. Cisco-specific configuration

          Cisco Conf
          configure the port you want to use as the trunk:

          telnet switch or use the console port

          ena
          (will prompt for password, so have it ready)

          conf t
          interface FastEthernet0/24 (it doesnt have to be 0/24)
           duplex full
           speed 100
           switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
           switchport trunk allowed vlan 2
           switchport mode trunk

          This conf will do the following:

          Set the port to full duplex mode; force the port to 100Mb mode; set the port
          vlan encapsulation to support 802.1Q; tell the
          switch that the port is allowed to run vlans through (even if you set just
          VLAN 2, cisco will automatically add VLAN 1 and VLAN 1002-1005) to the port
          and set the port to trunk mode aswell. Trunk mode tells the switch that
          a number of VLANS can go through it.

          Last line is usually the mother of all screw-ups. If you forget that, you
          won't get your VLAN working. Simple as that.

          Now configure some other port to be used as the destination for the vlan:

          conf t
          interface FastEthernet0/1
           duplex half
           speed 10
           switchport access vlan 2
          end

          Here we tell the switch to force the port 1 to half duplex 10Mb mode (normal
          10 Mb NIC) and only traffic from interface VLAN 2 can go through this port.
          also you can use a number of ports with VLAN 2, like a HUB ;)

          You should now connect some other device to port 1.

          Let it have an ip of eg. 10.0.231.2 mask 255.255.255.0

          Ping linux from it

          ping 10.0.231.1

          If it replies scream: "YESS!!" This means, that VLAN is working.

          Hard truth: It's not over, till its over.
          if this works, then you are out of the woods, if not, well I hear that
          tcpdump is a good tool ;-) and tcpdump that came with the vlan package even
          better tool. (if you want to dump, use the one that came with vlan package)

      NOTE: Ethereal also supports VLANs, and is much more beautiful than tcpdump, if you have GUI capabilities.

          If you can ping the linux and from linux the host, you should try the
          following at linux side:

          ping -s 1476 10.0.231.2

          If there is no reply, there is something foggy with the NIC. and you
          should start debugging.  If ping -s 100 10.0.231.2 works, then it is most likely
          an MTU problem with your NIC/Driver.

   3. My SysKonnect sk98lin doesn't work (submitted by: Patrick Schaaf <bof@bof.de>)

      Here's a piece needed to get SysKonnect sk98lin driven cards to play nice; they recognize and drop incoming VLAN tagged frames in the driver, the patch below removes that check. Tested a bit with a Cisco Catalyst 6509 on the other side, and a fibre link, works like a charm. The card and driver already supports MTUs up to over 9000, so no problem on that side.

   4. My 3C59X has MTU problems.

          Edit the 3C59x.c, find the place where it says:

          static const int mtu = 1500;
          and replace 1500 with
          static const int mtu = 1504;

   5. My 3C905B has MTU problems.

      From Matti Aarnio <matti.aarnio AT sonera.fi>

                  This is a story from the war-front of how I got
                  that card to behave properly and to allow full
                  ethernet sized MTUs for my VLAN channels.

                  To give the salient details:

                  Driver has  'static int mtu = 1500;'  line,  which
                  variable isn't listed as module parameter (not that
                  that obvious fix helped - somehow module parameter
                  for this didn't catch at my modprobes..)

                  My kludgy solution in the end was just to increase
                  that statically compiled in value to   1504,  which
                  however made all IP interfaces to show MTU 1504,
                  which is -- bogus..

                  A bit better solution (I think) is to set max received
                  packet size to 1500+14+4 bytes, and not to mess with
                  externally visible interface MTU size.

                  Reading 3COM documentation about Wn3_MaxPktSize register
                  persistance, it seems to need be re-set after every time
                  the RxReset is issued.

                  Further reading of 3c905C documentation seems to indicate
                  that this version of the card (ASICs) will be happy to
                  accept VLAN-tagged frames even without driver fixes.  Only
                  3c905B (which I have) will need the change (and plain 3c905
                  doesn't have MaxPktSize register at all).

                  Perhaps simplest for 3c90* series cards is just define fixed
                  literal telling that oversize frames are acceptable:

          -       /* Set the full-duplex bit. */
          -       outb(((vp->info1 & 0x8000) || vp->full_duplex ? 0x20 : 0) |
          -                (dev->mtu > 1500 ? 0x40 : 0), ioaddr + Wn3_MAC_Ctrl);
          +       /* Set the full-duplex bit, and allowLargePackets bit too! */
          +       outb(((vp->info1 & 0x8000) || vp->full_duplex ? 0x20 : 0) |
          +                0x40, ioaddr + Wn3_MAC_Ctrl);

                  (and similar code at  vortex_timer(),  look for "> 1500")

                  If the incoming packet is larger than can fit info buffer,
                  we get an overflow error.

                  An yet another alternate is to treat plain "OversizedFrame"
                  indication as a non-error at packet reception:

                          if ((rx_status & 0x001f4000) == 0x00104000)
                                  rx_status &= ~0x0010400;

                  and continue with current processing at  boomerang_rx().
                  At the  vortex_rx()  this code needs to be a bit different,
                  likely some code re-arrangements are called for.

   6. How to make my PCMCIA ethernet card work with VLANs?

      Per Peter Stuge:

      The problem was that the VLAN code in kernel header files weren't included properly when compiling the PCMCIA stuff. Exactly why? I'm not sure, might be because the PCMCIA stuff isn't the actual kernel and that means it's missing defines that trigger the VLAN #ifdefs.

      Commenting the #ifdefs in linux/netdevice.h and adding code to clear out the struct vlan_dev_info* vlan_dev after having created the new network device in the PCMCIA client for the networking card did the trick if I remember correctly. (The reason it doesn't work out-of-the-box is that the kernel VLAN code has garbage data for the VLAN fields in struct device since the device creator (PCMCIA client driver) doesn't know about them.)

      Ben Adds:

      To clear out the garbage, the PCMCIA driver needs to mset the net_device structure to zero (it should do this anyway..) If anyone has a patch, please send it to me and the owners of the PCMCIA code...
