on a joint project. Joining workers with VLANs forms logical
working groups.
VLANs are normally only configurable at the switch. However,
the HP NetServer 10/100 adapter software permits you to
configure a NetWare server with up to 64 VLANs, and 55
VLANs for Windows NT 4.0.
To set up VLAN membership, your adapter must be attached to
a switch with VLAN capability.
For more information on VLANs in NetWare, see the
NWTEAM.TXT
file on the HP NetServer 10/100TX PCI LAN
Adapter Drivers CD.
For more information on VLANs in Windows NT, continue to
the next section.
General Configuration Notes
1. Windows NT versions prior to 4.0 don’t support VLANs.
2. VLANs require Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0 with
Service Pack 4.0 (or later).
3. In Windows NT and Windows 2000, VLANs cannot be
implemented on adapters that have been configured for
teaming options.
4. 802.1p/802.1q is required for VLANs to function. You can
enable this feature through the Advanced tab in HPSet.
5. HP NetServer 10/100 adapters only support VLANs
configured in compliance with the IEEE 802.1q
specification. No support for ISL (Inter-Switch Link)
VLANs is intended.

3. On the Adapters tab, select the adapter you want to be on a
VLAN and click Properties.
