Proxmox 4.0 VLAN

[NStorm]

Hello.

Since the Proxmox 4.0 release the vlan package are removed and marked as conflict with pve-manager and proxmox-ve packages.
As far as I've read on forums the 4.0 uses it's own VLAN "manager". But could you please explain how it's done? Is it kernel library calls directly from Proxmox VE software?
Because vconfig tool comes with vlan package it is not possible to configure VLANs manually from console. Do you provide any ways for this?
Not really a unix-way approach. There was one unified tool to manage VLANs and now you've removed it.

There is one tool to manage VLANs, and that is not 'vconfig'. Instead, the tool is called 'ip'. So what do you miss exactly?

Sorry, didn't knew they've added VLAN management to iproute2. Always used vconfig for this as most of the guides make use of it.

We use only the vlan tags in the webinterface, it is the easiest way to work with vlan's. And yes you need a switch that understand vlans.

Sometimes you need a VLAN interface on a HN itself. Which wasn't possible to setup from web interface in Proxmox 3.4 at least, you have to configure it manually. And no, you don't generally need a switch with 802.1Q VLANs to work with VLANs as "dumb" switches will pass VLAN tags without problems. Of course there isn't much use of VLANs without switched infrastructure which can handle them.
