# Network | VLAN

**VLAN interfaces** (**VLAN tagging**) allow for the isolation of logical network architectures at OSI layer 2 over the same physical **NIC interface**, each with its independent routing table. Learn how to configure and manage VLAN interfaces below.

## VLAN Interfaces List

This table displays all the VLAN interfaces configured in the system.

**Actions** available for selected interfaces:

- **Create VLAN**. Opens a VLAN form to create a new VLAN interface.
- **Bring up**. Starts the interface and configures it to accept traffic.
- **Edit**. Modifies VLAN configuration, including IP address, MAC address, netmask, and gateway.
- **Bring down**. Shuts down the interface and stops it from accepting traffic.
- **Delete**. Clears the configuration and removes the VLAN interface.

## VLAN table columns

**Name**. Name of the VLAN interface, indicating the parent NIC, bonding, and VLAN tag.
  **Alias**. A descriptive name for easy identification within a farm or other services.
  **IP**. Network-layer IP address of the VLAN interface if configured, supporting IPv4 and IPv6.
  **MAC**. Link-layer address of the VLAN interface, inherited from the parent NIC or bonding if not configured.
  **Netmask**. Subnet mask of the VLAN interface, configurable only if the IP address is also configured.
  **Gateway**. Default gateway used by the VLAN interface if configured, must be on the same subnet.
  **Status**. Indicates the status of the VLAN interface:

- **Green**. Interface is **UP**.
- **Red**. Interface is **DOWN**.
