The switch port 24 needs to be plugged into the outside world. How the switch is configured to be a VLAN? No clue. Must be some documentation somewhere.
 
 
 
Here is an article on VLAN under Linux: [http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7268 Linux Journal]
 
 
 
On gourd, we have the outside device called "farm". We'd need to call it "eth?" to make this work
 
 
 
From Aaron:
 
By the way, it looks like you ran into some trouble setting up a VLAN.
 
Did I mention that the number after the dot is the VLAN ID and thus
 
quite significant?  Oh, and it looks like it really has to be ethX, not
 
a random name.  Hmph.  That's dum - 802.11q is perfectly valid on
 
802.11g as well, and that often has different device names.  Let's see
 
if we can fix that....  No apparently not.  I'll take a trip over to Rm
 
202 in a few minutes to restore gourd to operation.
 
 
 
== Configuration Files ==
 
From /usr/share/doc/initscripts-8.11.1/sysconfig.txt:
 
  '''/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<interface-name> and
 
  '''/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<interface-name>:<alias-name>:
 
    The first defines an interface, and the second contains
 
    only the parts of the definition that are different in a
 
    "alias" (or alternative) interface.  For example, the
 
    network numbers might be different, but everything else
 
    might be the same, so only the network numbers would be
 
    in the alias file, but all the device information would
 
    be in the base ifcfg file.
