Using the PXESelect Utility

Note: LPVIDs also need to be configured on the switch port.
Each LPVID must be unique and is relevant for NIC traffic only. The LPVID is not
supported for storage functions. For iSCSI storage functions, you must configure a
VLAN ID through iSCSISelect or through the host. For additional information, see
“Configuring VLAN ID and VLAN Priority” on page 1604.
During PXE boot when the UNDI Driver (BIOS) is functional, the PXE VLAN is used.
However, once the NIC driver is operational the LPVID is used.
Note: If no PXE VLAN is configured, the LPVID is used.
For example:
PXE Install OS
PXE Server configured with VLAN 5
PXE VLAN=5
LPVID for function 0=5
To configure LPVID:
1. On the configuration screen, use the <Tab> key to select LPVID and a dialog box
appears.
2. Enter a value and press <Enter>. The LPVID range is 2-4094. A value of 0 disables
the LPVID.
3. Select Save and press <Enter>.

Multichannel Mode setting and a pop-up menu appears.
