| - | 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.

| - | 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 frames on your primary network because some devices don't support it.
