I believe the issue is that eth0.2 is not really a separate network
interface, but an IP alias address. Hence in your XORP config you
should just delete the "interface eth0.2" block, because the
10.10.0.1 address already belongs to interface/vif eth0.

Regards,
Pavlin

P.S. In general, the Linux command "ip" (e.g., "ip addr" and
"ip link") is better than "ifconfig".
