Configuring VLANs
VLAN Configuration is optional. Before configuring VLANs, see “VLANs Overview” on
page 102.
By default, Ethernet NICs are configured with VLAN support disabled. Up to 64 VLANs
can be defined for each team on your server. Configuring VLANs consists of the
following tasks:
■
Accessing the VLAN configuration interface.
■
Adding VLAN(s) to the team(s). This includes assigning a unique identifier and name
to each new VLAN.
Each of these tasks is described below, along with procedures describing how to delete
VLANs or modify the properties of a configured VLAN.
NOTE:
NICs that are part of a team inherit all the basic configuration properties
of the team, including VLANs associated with the team. If you delete a team, any
VLANs configured for that team will also be deleted.
NOTE:
NICs that are members of a team can also be configured to support
VLANs; however, VLANs cannot be configured with foreign NICs.
When configuring VLANs for team NICs, note that any NIC or LOM that is a
member of a team inherits the configuration of the primary NIC. When a NIC or
LOM is removed from the team, however, its original configuration parameters
are used.
