| Using a VLAN |
| Once a VLAN is created, its VPPA can be used to configure protocols, |
| send commands, and transmit and receive data just like a physical point |
| of attachment (PPA). For example, to configure an IP address on the |
| VLAN, type: |
| ifconfig lan5000 inet 100.2.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up |
| You cannot change physical link properties such as speed, duplexity, or |
NOTE | |
| maximum transmission unit (MTU) over a VLAN. If you make changes |
| to a physical interface, those changes will be reflected in the VLANs on |
| that interface. |
