IEEE 802.3ac VLANs:
VLANs require VLAN-capable switches either implicit (switch only) or explicit (IEEE 802.3ac). IEEE 802.3ac VLANs
allow multiple VLANs per adapter or team since both the switch and adapter use a tag in the packet header to sort
VLANs.
Intel gigabit and 10 gigabit network adapters fully support implicit and explicit VLANs.
