Yes, just apply proposed configuration to lab schema.

Everything works as expected with no extra arp_ignore/arp_announce
configuration. Even if I add second primary address 192.168.1.1/24 to=20
eth2, and introduce pc4 in same broadcast domain as pc3 (eth2).

Well, configuration with 3000 subinterfaces looks worse, but it works
with no extra patches/configuration.

Thank you for your help.
