The DNS-323 can support 802.1q vlans/frame tagging.  The native kernel does not support this, however.  To make it work, you must load an 8021q.ko kernel module into your kernel.  You should have a chroot debian install to accomplish this.  I will spare you the trouble of having to compile the module yourself.

One reason you may want to do this is that you want to configure jumbo frames for (potentially) faster DNS-323 performance, but don't want to/can't activate jumbo frames on your primary network because some devices don't support it.  (Jumbo frames require a Gigabit switch, but not all Gigabit switches and NIC's support jumbo frames) One reason you may want to do this is that you want to configure jumbo frames for (potentially) faster DNS-323 performance, but don't want to/can't activate jumbo frames on your primary network because some devices don't support it.  (Jumbo frames require a Gigabit switch, but not all Gigabit switches and NIC's support jumbo frames)
