Hi Claudio

I've reproduced your configuration (albeit with auto set for eth0.101 as well) and I'm not able to reproduce your issue.

eth0.101 comes up on boot and is restarted correctly using sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart:

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
 * Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not enable again some interfaces
 * Reconfiguring network interfaces... Removed VLAN -:eth0.101:-
ssh stop/waiting
ssh start/running, process 3232
Set name-type for VLAN subsystem. Should be visible in /proc/net/vlan/config
Added VLAN with VID == 101 to IF -:eth0:-
ssh stop/waiting
ssh start/running, process 3341
                                                                                                               [ OK ]

The messages from your syslog would indicate that the server is not able to retrieve a IP address from the DHCP server for eth0.101, interestingly it does do a release:

DHCPRELEASE on eth0.101 to 192.168.101.1 port 67

but is then not offered a new address.

Please could you check the log files on your DHCP server for more information as to why it does not response to the subsequent DHCPDISCOVER requests.

Marking 'Incomplete' pending your response. Please set back to 'New' once you have provided the requested information.

Thanks
