This is not a vlan, but the real interface. Use eth0.1 for interface
name if you want vlan1 on etho, eth0.2 for vlan2 on eth0 and so on.

Tip: avoid using vlan1, as it's a special vlan.

For your 3 network cards, if they are connected to the same switch, I
would not use them as separate interfaces to the switch, but instead
group them into an etherchannel. This is what I am using at home (Debian
to a 2950T):

auto bond0 bond0.2

iface bond0 inet manual
slaves eth0 eth1 eth2 eth3

iface bond0.2 inet static
vlan-raw-device bond0
address 10.2.1.1
network 10.2.1.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 10.2.1.255

!Cisco:
interface Port-channel1
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
flowcontrol send off
!
interface FastEthernet0/9
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
channel-group 1 mode active
!
interface FastEthernet0/10
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
channel-group 1 mode active
!
interface FastEthernet0/11
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
channel-group 1 mode active
!
interface FastEthernet0/12
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
channel-group 1 mode active
