If selected, the adapter adds a
VLAN tag to all transmitted
packets, and only receives packets
with the matching VLAN tag.
Notes:
• This property should not be

used when the Emulex Teaming
Driver is enabled. In that case,
VLAN configuration should be
performed in the Teaming
Driver application.

• This property should not be

used with Hyper-V. In that
case, the Microsoft Hyper-V
Manager should be used to
configure VLANs on each virtual
machine.
