How to configure a NIC with a VLAN tag

To add a VLAN tag to a NIC on a Sinefa Probe, follow these steps.

1. Login to the Sinefa Probe control panel using VGA/keyboard, SSH or serial console with the username admin - username to be in all lowercase
2. Access the CLI by navigating to the System menu and select CLI.
3. At the CLI prompt, enter the following commands:

interface add vlan <interface_name>.<vlan_id>

Replace <interface_name> with the name of the interface. E.g. br1
Replace <vlan_id> with the VLAN ID. E.g. 10

Example

The following example shows how to configure the br1 interface with VLAN ID 10.

interface add vlan br1.10

Then type:

config save

To save the changes and ensure they survive a reboot.

Note

After adding the VLAN ID to an existing interface, the new tagged interface is now available in the main menu for configuring the network settings, e.g. IP address, subnet mask, etc.

Type exit to leave the CLI, then login again with username admin to access the main menu.

Removing a VLAN Interface

At the CLI prompt, enter the following commands:

interface.<interface_name>\\.<vlan_id> del

Replace <interface_name> with the name of the interface. E.g. br1
Replace <vlan_id> with the VLAN ID. E.g. 10

The following example shows how to remove VLAN interface br1.10:

interface.br1\\.10 del

Then type:

config save

To save the changes and ensure they survive a reboot.
