+      tags (in the case of vlan trunking), a
+      subelement, <code>&lt;tag%gt;</code>, specifies which vlan tag
+      to use (for example: <code>&lt;tag id='42'/&gt;</code>. If an
+      interface has more than one <code>&lt;vlan&gt;</code> element
+      defined, it is assumed that the user wants to do VLAN trunking
+      using all the specified tags. In the case that vlan trunking
+      with a single tag is desired, the optional
