Hi,

I understand this is an old issue, but I was wondering if there was any chance 
of VLAN-capable switch being integrated in CORE? Are there any other examples 
of this feature? E.g. how to add a VLAN-capable switch manually to an existing 
CORE project or especially convert an existing ethernet switch in a CORE 
project to a VLAN-capable one?

Thanks!

CORE uses veth pairs on bridges for normal wired nodes. It looks like the veth 
device does not allow created a vlan slave device:

  $ sudo ip link add name test0 type veth peer name test0.1
  $ sudo ip link add test0 name test0.100 type vlan id 100
  RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument

So something else would need to be done for a VLAN-capable switch. Using Open 
vSwitch would likely provide a solution, as it includes VLAN support.
