1. Click the name of the newly created team.
The Team Properties Tab is selected by default.
2. Click the Statistics Tab to view the team statistics.
Adding a VLAN
You also can add VLANs to a team. The concept behind this is that you
are adding multiple virtual adapters that are on different subnets. The
benefit is that your server can have one network adapter that can belong
to multiple subnets. With a VLAN, you can couple the functionality of load
balancing for the Load Balance Members, and you can employ a failover
adapter.
You can define up to 64 VLANs per team (63 tagged and 1 untagged).
VLANs can only be created when all members are AT-2931SX adapters. If
you try to create a VLAN with another type of adapter, an error message
appears.
Note
Disabled AT-2931SX adapters are not recognized and they prevent
the creation of a VLAN. If you attempt to create a VLAN with a
disabled AT-2931SX adapter, an error message appears.
To configure a team with a VLAN, perform the following procedure.
Note
To maintain optimum adapter performance, your system must have
64 MB of system memory for each of the 8 VLANs created per
adapter.
1. Click the name of the team you want to configure.
2. From the Team Properties Tab, click Add VLAN.
3. Type the VLAN ID and VLAN name, then click OK.
The Untagged VLAN check box is exclusively used by the VLAN ID
field. To use VLAN ID 0, simply click this check box. If you type a
VLAN name or ID and the name already exists, an Input Error
message appears.
