Introduction
============
This package provides a vlan and vlan.conf file to configure
8021.q VLAN at startup for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
After installation,additional information can be found in the  
vlan_init.txt file located at:

/usr/share/doc/vlan_init-1.0.1c/vlan_init.txt

The References section in vlan_init.txt provides many useful articles on
VLANs and possible configurations of VLANs.

Packaging
=========
The driver is released in RPM format. The file name for the
package is vlan_init-<version>.linux.rpm. 

Installing the RPM Package
=============================
1. Check for the existence of a current version of the vlan_init package as
   follows:

        # rpm -q vlan_init

        If an old version of the package exists the RPM package should be
        removed.

        # rpm -e vlan_init

        Verify that the old vlan_init package has been removed as follows:

        # rpm -q vlan_init

2. Install the RPM source package.

   # rpm -ivh vlan_init-<version>.linux.rpm


VLAN Configuration
==================
   The VLAN driver can be configured either as a stand-alone adapter or
   with a team of adapters using the Bonding driver.

   Refer to the "VLAN Configuration (stand-alone adapters)"
   section in vlan_init.txt for details on how to setup VLANs with stand
   alone adapters.

   Refer to the "VLAN configuration (teamed with Bonding driver)"
   section in vlan_init.txt for details on how to setup VLANs in a teamed 
   environment using the Bonding driver.

The following command will uninstall the vlan RPM.
 
     # rpm -e vlan_init
