Kickstart and VLANs

For some reason out networking group has decided to trunk our console port and now my NFS installation doesn't work. Is there an option in the command line to allow me to specify the VLAN id? And how would I change my ks.cfg to account for this VLAN id?

Thanks

You can't fix this via the kickstart. The --vlan option when you're installing will only set the default VLAN once the system is installed. What you need to do is kick your network guys in the arse and have them set "native vlan" which should set all untagged traffic to the native vlan of your choice.

Thank you so much. My networking knowledge is limited to the basics and they don't give me access to that stuff for fear I might figure out how it works. Smiley Wink
