This is just a reminder that the physical switch connecting your two machines must be configured to carry VLAN tagged traffic. Most VLAN-aware switches will let ports carry VLAN tagged traffic by default. I will update the page to reflect this. You do not need to configure any virtual interfaces on the host.
