I'm trying to configure an IPv6 and an IPv4 address on a VLAN interface.

When I configure it on a non-VLAN interface like this in
/etc/network/interfaces It works as expected, but when I put the same
configuration on a VLAN interface I get an error message on up and down. It
looks like it works anyway but is this the correct way to configure that?

firewall# cat /etc/network/interfaces
iface em0 inet static
        address 192.168.20.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast +
iface em0 inet6 static
        address 2001:db8:20::1
        netmask 64

iface em0.30 inet static
        address 192.168.30.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast +
iface em0.30 inet6 static
        address 2001:db8:30::1
        netmask 64
