NG_VLAN(4)		 BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual		    NG_VLAN(4)

NAME
     ng_vlan --	IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging netgraph node type

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <netgraph.h>
     #include <netgraph/ng_vlan.h>

DESCRIPTION
     The vlan node type	multiplexes frames tagged according to the IEEE	802.1Q
     standard between different	hooks.

     Each node has two special hooks, downstream and nomatch, and an arbitrary
     number of "vlan" hooks, each associated with a particular VLAN tag.

     An	ETHERTYPE_VLAN frame received on the downstream	hook with a tag	that
     the node has been configured to filter is sent out	the corresponding
     "vlan" hook.  If it does not match	any of the configured tags, or is not
     of	a type ETHERTYPE_VLAN, it is sent out the nomatch hook.	 If the
     nomatch hook is not connected, the	packet is dropped.

     An	Ethernet frame received	on the nomatch hook is passed unmodified to
     the downstream hook.

     An	Ethernet frame received	on any of the "vlan" hooks is tagged accord-
     ingly and sent out	the downstream hook.

HOOKS
     This node type supports the following hooks:

     downstream	 Typically this	hook would be connected	to a ng_ether(4) node,
		 using the lower hook.

     nomatch	 Typically this	hook would also	be connected to	an ng_ether(4)
		 type node using the upper hook.

     <any valid	name>
		 Any other hook	name will be accepted and should later be as-
		 sociated with a particular tag.  Typically this hook would be
		 attached to an	ng_eiface(4) type node using the ether hook.

CONTROL	MESSAGES
     This node type supports the generic control messages, plus	the following:

     NGM_VLAN_ADD_FILTER (addfilter)
	     Associates	a hook with the	tag.

     NGM_VLAN_DEL_FILTER (delfilter)
	     Disassociates a hook from the tag.

     NGM_VLAN_GET_TABLE	(gettable)
	     Returns a table of	all hook/tag associations.

EXAMPLES
     #!/bin/sh

     ETHER_IF=rl0

     ngctl -f- <<EOF
     shutdown ${ETHER_IF}:
     mkpeer ${ETHER_IF}: vlan lower downstream
     name ${ETHER_IF}:lower vlan
     connect ${ETHER_IF}: vlan:	upper nomatch
     EOF

     ngctl mkpeer vlan:	eiface vlan123 ether
     ngctl msg vlan: addfilter '{ vlan=123 hook="vlan123" }'

SHUTDOWN
     This node shuts down upon receipt of a NGM_SHUTDOWN control message, or
     when all hooks have been disconnected.
