O.S. 802.1Q VLAN routing alternatives ?

Archived from groups: comp.dcom.lans.ethernet (More info?)

Is there any Open Source routing alternative that can route between
802.1Q VLANs ? We are trying to set up a low cost test LAN and have an
old IBM 8275 switch which supports VLANs thru 802.1Q frame tagging and
would like to use this capability.

Thanks,

J. Courcoul

Thanks for these pointers. We're now busy rummaging the leftover NIC bin
to find appropiate cards for the "router".
