Configuring the LPVID
The LPVID is used to enforce a VLAN ID on all traffic originating from an IP address,
channel, or PCI function. If the operating system for that PCI function has set up a
VLAN ID, then the operating system-configured VLAN ID takes precedence over the
LPVID for transmit packets while the operating system-configured VLAN ID and
LPVID-tagged packets will both be received. If the operating system has not set up any
VLAN IDs, then the LPVID is used for tagging.
Note: LPVID and user-configured VLAN IDs from the operating system must be
different.
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.
To configure an LPVID:
1. On the Controller Configuration screen, select Configure LPVID and press
<Enter>. The Configure LPVID screen appears.
Figure 11-17 Configure LPVID Screen
2. Select the LPVID value for a specific function and press <Enter>.
3. Enter a value and press <Enter>. The LPVID range is 2-4094. A value of 0 disables
the LPVID.
Note: LPVID values 1 and 4095 are currently reserved and cannot be used or
configured.
