[Xorp-hackers] vlan Config

I am having trouble configuring vlan interfaces - or indeed vif's in
general - in xorp.

For example, if I have something like
interfaces {
  interface eth0 {
    vif eth0 {
      ...
    }
    vif xxx {
      [vlan {
        vlan-id: yyy
      }]
      ...
    }
  }
}
I get an error saying cannot create interface eth0/xxx regardless of
how I name the vif. (i have trued including and excluding the clause
inside the square brackets)

The only way I can get around this is if I create the interface
manually in the system (such as eth0.20 etc) and use these in the
config file without using the vlan clause.

Can anyone tell me whether doing th above would affect vlan tagging?

Thanks
