VLAN config

When using with a FireBrick for bonding multiple lines we can use VLANS for each of the PPP sessions.

We'll configure the switch as:

  • Port 1 - VLAN 101, for ADSL line 1
  • Port 2 - VLAN 102, for ADSL line 2
  • Port 3 - VLAN 103, for ADSL line 3
  • Port 4 - VLAN 104, for ADSL line 4
  • Port 8 is for the FireBrick
