Yes.

So please prepare a ifcfg file and put it in 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/.

The example of ifcfg-vlan43 is as followed:
(src/settings/plugins/ifcfg-rh/tests/network-scripts/ifcfg-test-vlan-interface)

    VLAN=yes
    TYPE=Vlan
    DEVICE=vlan43  or "DEVICE=eth9.43"
    PHYSDEV=eth9
    REORDER_HDR=1
    VLAN_FLAGS=GVRP,LOOSE_BINDING
    VLAN_INGRESS_PRIORITY_MAP=0:1,2:5
    VLAN_EGRESS_PRIORITY_MAP=12:3,14:7
    ONBOOT=yes
    BOOTPROTO=static
    IPADDR=192.168.43.149
    NETMASK=255.255.255.0

    And we try to make it compitable with the format used by initscripts,
    and there is no need to change anything in ifcfg-eth9.
