VLAN Trunking with Freebsd

This is my config:

cloned_interfaces="vlan2 vlan3 vlan4 vlan5"
ifconfig_re0="inet 192.168.1.62 netmask 255.255.255.192"
ifconfig_re1="inet 192.168.1.254 netmask 255.255.255.128"
ifconfig_bge0="inet a.b.c.d netmask 255.255.255.240"
ifconfig_em0="up"
ifconfig_vlan2="192.168.41.1 vlan 2 vlandev em0"
ifconfig_vlan3="192.168.19.3 vlan 3 vlandev em0"
ifconfig_vlan4="192.168.42.1 vlan 4 vlandev em0"
ifconfig_vlan5="192.168.100.1 vlan 5 vlandev em0"

re0, re1, bge0 are ordinary interfaces (non-802.1q), and em0 is connected to a switch
with 802.1q support.

HTH,
