I fear, that does not work:
lara:/home/ml # ip link add link eth0 eth0.1000 type vlan proto 802.1ad id 1000
vlan: what is "proto"?
Usage: ... vlan id VLANID [ FLAG-LIST ]
[ ingress-qos-map QOS-MAP ] [ egress-qos-map QOS-MAP ]
[...]
ip does not seem to know about proto. This does not have changed in
git either.
I've seen there was an patch to add this around somewhen in 2011, but
it does not seem to have made it.
Or did I miss something?

Hello,Michael,
You are right.
It is probably a matter of synchronization between iproute2 git version
and kernel version.
This patch by Patrick McHardy, titled:
"add 802.1ad support", seems to do the job:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg233587.html
But it was not integrated to iproute2 git tree.
But don't be wrong: if you look into this patch, you will see that the
first addition of it was integrated but as a part of a different
patch:
commit 79e9a1db11db494eade7bd6917a34f383c0774e3
Author: Stephen Hemminger <[email protected]>
titled "Update headers to 3.10".
But you should look at the rest of the patch of Patrick McHardy ("add
802.1ad support"), it does not appear in the latest git tree of
iproute2.
Please look for example in ip/iplink_vlan.c b/ip/iplink_vlan.c
in the explain() method and compare to the above mentioned patch.
Regards,
Rami Rosen

thank you very much for that link - I'm not subscribed to netdev and
that searches on web archives sometimes do not seem to work very well.
I only found that patches from 2011.
OK, when applying that patch to iproute2 git the if_link.h hunk
expectedly fails, but the rest applies.
But, unfortunately the result is not what I would expect:
./ip link add link veth0 veth0.1000 type vlan proto 802.1ad id 1000
./ip link add link veth0.1000 veth0.1000.1000 type vlan proto 802.1q id 1000
ifconfig veth0.1000.1000 192.168.123.1/24
ping 192.168.123.2
tcpdump -i veth0 -n
17:27:41.067431 4e:06:ea:bc:87:38 > 8e:42:eb:bd:cc:f2, ethertype 802.1Q (0x8100), length 106: vlan 1000, p 0, ethertype 802.1Q, vlan 1000, p 0, ethertype IPv4, 192.168.123.1 > 192.168.123.2: ICMP echo request, id 15754, seq 1, length 64

Both have ether type 0x8100, the first one should have 0x88a8, or did I get something wrong?
(Note: veth1 is in a different network namespace and set up like veth0 above)
I didn't have much time yet to look into if I can find an explanation myself...

Michael

Meanwhile Stephen has grabbed that patch and committed it to iproute2
git - thank you very much.

This either was an problem with veth or with namespace or with both of
them.
With real ethernet I get the same result Patrick has shown in his
802.1aq commit message.
