From 8cd50c7c15fde8bb3b09b1063309a1a0119d2a81 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: rwatson Date: Wed, 4 Jan 2012 21:04:57 +0000 Subject: Adjust the VLAN section of the ifconfig(8) man page to better reflect reality: 1. Only 12-bit VLAN Identifiers, not full 16-bit VLAN tags can be set using ifconfig vlan. 2. When we mean VLAN Identifiers, spell it that way, rather than as VLAN tag.
