We can use one mBox to support multiple VLANs on one physical interface using standard 802.1Q, which is the networking standard that supports virtual LANs (VLANs) on an Ethernet network.
In other words, we can “split” a physical interface into multiple logical interface and assign/tag each logical interface into a virtual network (VLAN). Each logical VLAN interface is also called sub-interface.
When configuring bridging interfaces, following conditions apply:
Each VLAN interface is a layer 3 logical interface, assign IP address to VLAN interface.
By default physical interface is in VLAN 1
Connected peer (eg. switch port) must be enabled with 802.1q trunking and the configured VLANs must be allowed by the switch trunk port
CONFIGURATION STEPS
enable physical interface (to be splitted)
configure and each VLAN interface
configuration interface settings for each interface

eth2 & eth3 are placed into a bonding group 1, running LACP with core switch
VLAN900 & 901 are tagged to bond1
VLAN900 runs hotspot services, bandwidth control is done within hotspot instance
VLAN901 provides direct connection, bandwidth control is done by firewall-limit rules
