Hi Yasha,
I am presuming you are looking for the virtual network configuration.
Basically, you create a new ifcfg file in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. The
"VLAN=yes" statement is what does the virtual network adapter magic.
I am using a fixed IP. You can use DHCP if you like. To all the world
it looks like an addition network card. Make sure "DEVICE=" matches
the name in "ifcfg-xxx". The first half of the "XXX=sss" must be
all caps.
Once you get the new ifcfg-xxx file in place, you can restart "network",
but I prefer to reboot.
You may want to set "PEERDNS=yes" if you are not using your own
local DNS.
Let me know if you need any help with LPR/LPD. There are some tricks
