Native VLANs

Once a VLAN has been placed over a team or an adapter, you can still access a team

or adapter directly, without going through a VLAN, if you desire. This means that

the VLAN tag is 0 and this is the native VLAN.
The native VLAN is disabled by default when you create the first VLAN on a team.

However, you can specify whether or not to enable or disable the native VLAN.
When all the VLANs on a device are deleted, the native VLAN is automatically

enabled in case of a team, and the VLAN adapter becomes a free adapter in case of a

VLAN adapter.
You can enable or disable the native VLAN on any team or adapter that already

contains VLANs.

To modify VLAN IDs:
1. In the discovery-tree, select the team for which you want to modify the VLAN ID.

The General tab is displayed.

2. Select the VLANs tab.
3. Select the VLAN in the Configured VLANs area that you want to modify.
4. Click Add VLAN. The Modify VLAN ID dialog box is displayed.
