Hello, I would suggestion to add in the documention about /etc/rc.conf ifconfig_em0="up" vlans_em0="5" ifconfig_em0_5="inet 192.168.20.20/24" It took for me ages to realize, that die parent interface em0 must be up after a reboot. If not, no traffic will go over the interfaces even when the VLANs are up. TIA, Harald
