Hello all,
i would like to build a setup to generate VLAN frames (respecting the
IEEE 802.1Q standard) for testing purpose.
How to configure a Linux bridge for it to become a VLAN switch?
Is it possible?
What user tool to use for that? brctl?

Regards,
Louis

Try 'vconfig' assuming you have a relatively modern
distribution.  More info is here:
