FIELD: network hardware.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of network equipment. Method of VLAN support for the Linux software bridge contains the steps: in the Linux kernel, a network bridge and a network VLAN port are created, while the network port and the network VLAN port are added to the network bridge, forming the corresponding port of the network bridge, which performs the service in the form of a group of link lists of the VLAN port; configures the network bridge port on the network bridge and a corresponding list of VLAN port references is created or updated; and by means of a network bridge, the data is redirected based on the VLAN.
