Fixed desktop file to show category and icon properly. Thanks to upnort and ArTourter. d/git-2.30.1-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt. Make sure the bash-completion file is installed in the proper location. Thanks to Robby Workman. d/python-setuptools-54.0.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. d/vala-0.50.4-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. l/imagemagick-7.0.11_2-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. l/python-pillow-8.1.1-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. n/network-scripts-15.0-noarch-13.txz: Rebuilt. Well, apparently there was a newer branch of this than the one that was sitting in my usual pending queue, so here it is. This also includes some additional documentation on the new features. NOTE: In order to use SLAAC to configure IPv6, you'll need to have USE_SLAAC[x]="yes" for the interface in rc.inet1.conf. This is to ensure that nobody is surprised to find their machine fully exposed to the internet - better safe than sorry. Thanks to Darren "Tadgy" Austin and Robby Workman. n/wireless_tools-30.pre9-x86_64-4.txz: Rebuilt. This package contains some updates to rc.wireless and rc.wireless.conf. Thanks to Darren "Tadgy" Austin. xfce/mousepad-0.5.3-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.

VLANs (aka, 802.1q)
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Features
|
|
--------
|
|
* Simple configuration of VLAN interfaces using standard rc.inet1.conf
|
|
variables.
|
|
* Utilises the new IFOPTS[x]="" paramter, which allows VLAN interface
|
|
specific configuration, supporting the use of any option.
|
|
* VLAN interfaces can be built on top of bonds and virtual or physical
|
|
interfaces.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
-------------
|
|
Configuring VLAN bound interfaces utilises the standard Slackware networking
|
|
configuration syntax in rc.inet1.conf, with setting up an interface as simple
|
|
as changing the IFNAME[x].
|
|
|
|
VLAN interfaces can be configured quite simply in rc.inet1.conf, in the standard
|
|
Slackware way of defining an interface. The key to the configuration is to use
|
|
the correct IFNAME[x]="" setting for the underlying ethernet (or bond) interface
|
|
and the tagged VLAN ID that should be exposed. For example:
|
|
IFNAME[0]="eth0.10"
|
|
IFOPTS[0]=""
|
|
IPADDR[0]="192.168.10.1"
|
|
NETMASK[0]="24"
|
|
|
|
The VLAN ID is taken from the full interface name, which is comprised of the
|
|
underlying interface name, a period (.) and then the VLAN ID to expose.
|
|
The above example would use the physical interface 'eth0', and expose the VLAN
|
|
with ID '10'.
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to use a bond as the underlying interface, which allows
|
|
link aggregated VLAN interfaces to be created for network redundancy.
|
|
|
|
The interfaces support IPv4 and IPv6 IP addressing configured in the Slackware
|
|
way in rc.inet1.conf.
|
|
|
|
IFOPTS[x] is a pipe (|) delimited list of VLAN kernel module specific settings
|
|
to be applied to the interface. The ip-link(8) man page contains details of
|
|
exactly what settings can be used with this option (search for "VLAN Type
|
|
Support"). For example:
|
|
VLANOPTS[x]="protocol 802.1ad | reorder_hdr off"
|
|
|
|
Under normal circumstances, where a standard VLAN interface is required, no
|
|
options should be supplied.
