I see there is an nvlan option to npm-tcpip.
How would one use it, and what would the advantages?
Could one use this on a single PC with multiple
ethernet interfaces to offer redundancy?

Thanks in advance

It enables support of VLAN (802.1Q). You will need to enable vlan (nvlan =

  1. on stack,
    and use ifconfig to config a “vlanX” interface.

No, it is not for “redundant nic card”.
