Create VLAN

  vcreate --tag <tag> [--priority <priority>] <trunk interface>

  vcreate --tag 123 net0

  vcreate --tag 123 net0
  autoboot net0-123

Create a VLAN network interface on an existing trunk network interface. The new network interface will be named by appending a hyphen and the VLAN tag value to the trunk network interface name. For example, if you execute

  vcreate --tag 123 net0

then this will create a VLAN network interface named net0-123.

You may optionally specify a default priority for outbound packets using the --priority option. If this option is omitted, it will default to zero.

• List of all iPXE commands

This command is available only when the build option VLAN_CMD is enabled.

Valid VLAN tag values are in the range 0 to 4094 inclusive. iPXE does not prevent you from creating a VLAN with tag 0 or tag 1, though some network switches may treat these VLAN tags as reserved.

You can use vcreate to redefine an existing VLAN interface. For example, you could create a VLAN interface with the default priority value of zero using

  vcreate --tag 123 net0

and then modify the priority using

  vcreate --tag 123 --priority 2 net0

Not all network link layers support VLANs. iPXE will refuse to create a VLAN network interface unless the trunk network interface uses Ethernet-style six-byte MAC addresses.

You cannot create nested VLAN interfaces.
