Thanks for the answer, but as I said, I am using Ubuntu and do not have
the rhel configuration scripts.

I have finally managed to get a VLAN connection working with the
following keyfile:

[connection]
id=VLAN1
uuid=ed3b2385-9016-45c6-a277-fa7e5be8fe9d
type=vlan

[vlan]
parent=eth0
id=1

[ipv6]
method=auto

[ipv4]
method=auto


I am not sure whether this is the 100% correct way to do it. There are
two drawbacks taht I have noticed so far:

1. There seems to be no autoconnect feature for VLAN connections. If I
insert the cable, nm does not automatically start the VLAN connection.
For normal wired connections this works.

2. I hoped that nm-applet would at least show these connections, so that
one can start or stop a connection without being able to edit the
connection details. Unfortunately, this seems not to be the case.

If I see all of this correctly, then the only way to start or stop a
connection every time a cable is connected, is to issue

nmcli con up id VLAN1

at the command line.

Is this correct or is there another way?

Thanks

Michael
