Thank you for responding!

Uhm, I don't quite understand what that means. I don't assign
interface indexes, it is done by Linux itself, I guess?

Yes, I am fully able to create and configure VLAN interfaces through
vconfig and ip tools, so there is no problem with VLANs outside of
XORP.

I have tried to search archives but found nothing. By the way, I tried
to install XORP 1.6 on fresh stable Debian lenny system, I have the
same problem with creation of vlans through xorp. I could create them
outside of xorp for now. Did anyone had success with creating vlans on
Linux through xorp, not through system networking scripts?
