(Normal Linux distro (Debian in this case) but assuming no heredoc
functionality in the shell)

modprobe 8021q
echo "8021q" >> /etc/modules

echo "auto ethX.VLANID" >> /etc/network/interfaces
echo "iface ethX.VLANID inet static" >> /etc/network/interfaces
echo "address AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD" >> /etc/network/interfaces
echo "netmask 255.255.255.0" >> /etc/network/interfaces
echo "vlan-raw-device ethX" >> /etc/network/interfaces

ifup ethX.VLANID

#repeat and customize as needed
iptables -A FORWARD -i ethX.VLANID1 -o ethX.VLANID2 -j ACCEPT
