- Allows the user to define the name for a new VLAN
- Allows the user to assign an ingress priority map
- Allows the user to assign an egress priority map
- Can remove a particular VLAN by name
- Prints confirmation once VLAN creation/removal
- Can assign an IPV4 address for specific VLAN
- Can make the VLAN available on boot

Requirements to set up a successful VLAN.
- 802.1q supported NIC (Network Interface Card)
- 802.1q support network switch
- Vlan package is installed:
sudo apt install vlan - 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'
