Hi
Scenario 1 will be right.
Don't mix there "normal" ethernet with vlan's.

Lets say I'm setting up vlan devices so that 4 completely separate subnets' gateways can share same ethernet port on the router. Is it more appropriate to give the physical device itself an ip address and then create 3 vlan devices, or to give the physical device no ip address at all and create 4 vlan devices? Or?

The basic functionality of vlan devices seems straightforward enough. I imagined starting with one of the following two configurations but the man pages referenced from the openbsd faq did not clarify this point for me.

Any advice is appreciated,
