TOS 802.1Q / VLAN tagging support

[storageninja]

Goodmorning

I'm used to run vlans in docker macvlan on my Synology, after I tried the same config on the F4 SSD my whole unit was unreachable. That might be caused by the missing 8021q module which is not loaded in to the OS these days?

Could you enhance the OS to load this module by default? And / or could I load this module manually to use the vlan tagging in my network, until you embedded it into the OS?

Interestingly the macvlan module is loaded, and currently working fine without vlan tagging.

Code: Select all

user@TNAS:~# lsmod | grep vlan
macvlan                28672  0

Suprisingly the vlan module of the OS is not loaded, which confirms that my macvlan test was failing.

Code: Select all

user@TNAS:~# lsmod | grep 8021q
user@TNAS:~# cat /proc/modules | grep 8021q
user@TNAS:~# modinfo 8021q
modinfo: ERROR: Module 8021q not found.

This is also a requirement for the already accepted QEMU-KVM implementation:

There's no proper VM guest support without VLAN capabilities.
As it's a no-go to directly expose a NAS to the internet, people will need the capability to put a VM into a tagged and locked-up DMZ VLAN network.

I can confirm that VLAN tagging (`ip link type vlan`) works on TOS 7 Beta!

Great news!
