This project involves a bash script designed to implement VLAN's. The script can create, remove and show VLAN's on a specific ethernet port.

1. Can list all defined VLAN's
2. Can show properties/status of specified VLAN by name
3. Can show properties/status of all VLAN's defined
4. Prints usage to terminal upon mistakes in usage by user
5. Ensures Ethernet Port and VLAN ID are provided to define a new VLAN
6. Allows the user to define the name for a new VLAN
7. Allows the user to assign an ingress priority map
8. Allows the user to assign an egress priority map
9. Can remove a particular VLAN by name
10. Prints confirmation once VLAN creation/removal
11. Can assign an IPV4 address for specific VLAN
12. Can make the VLAN available on boot

Requirements to set up a successful VLAN.

1. 802.1q supported NIC (Network Interface Card)
2. 802.1q support network switch

1. Vlan package is installed: sudo apt install vlan
2. 8021q module is loaded into the kernel: sudo modprobe 8021q. Alternatively, if you want the VLAN to be available permanently, you can set the module to be loaded on bootup: sudo su -c 'echo "8021q" >> /etc/modules'
