How far is VLAN Communication possible with Kinetis MCUs?
Hi Bernd
The Ethernet controller in the K66 supports VAN tagging but VLAN can be done without this very easy (and in some cases more flexibly) in software.
Some switches/PHYS also include VLAN support, in addition or as alternative to doing it at the EMAC or SW layer.
Generally however it can easily be done with any Ethernet controller.
The uTasker project includes VLAN and dynamic VLAN support in case a turn-key, proven and supported solution for the K66 is preferred (it is also available as open source if no support is needed), whereby dynamic VLAN allows VLAN management of individual frames so that you could have multiple IP addresses; some on VLANs and some not.
