This post will explain how to configure mutli-VLAN support via your own self-installed Ubuntu OS (including Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi):

 

1. Edit the file /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml which is used by the current Ubuntu distribution version to configure the system network:

 

sudo nano /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml

 

An example adding the VLANs 15 and 20:

 

network:
 version: 2
 renderer: networkd
 ethernets:
   eth0:     
     dhcp4: false
     addresses: [192.168.0.5/24]
 gateway4: 192.168.0.1
     nameservers: 
       addresses: [ "8.8.8.8", "8.8.4.4" ]
 vlans:
   vlan15: 
     id: 15 
     link: eth0
     addresses: [ "192.168.15.5/24" ]
   vlan20:
     id: 20
     link: eth0
     addresses: [ "192.168.20.5/24" ]
