Hello there,

I didnt quite understood what u meant there. But if u want to send a
tagged packet then U have to make sure u have a vlan interface on the
machine from which u want to send a packet. Thus if u have eth0 then
first 'tag' this interface with a vlan ID like so in linux:

vconfig addif eth0 'any permissible vlan ID'

then u will see an additional interface like so: eth0.'vlan_ID'

they lets say you want to send a tagged packet, for that matter u are
trying to send an arp request for which the packets shd be tagged.

u do this like so:

arp -I eth0.'vlan ID' destination-address-u-want-to-arp.

Hope this helps.
