Adding a VLAN
You can add virtual LANs (VLANs) to a team. This enables you to add multiple virtual adapters that are on different subnets. The
benefit of this is that your system can have one network adapter that can belong to multiple subnets. With a VLAN, you can couple
the functionality of load balancing for the load balance members, and you can employ a failover adapter.
You can define up to 64 VLANs per team (63 VLANs that are tagged and 1 VLAN that is not tagged). VLANs can only be created
when all teams members are Broadcom adapters. If you try to create a VLAN with a non-Broadcom adapter, an error message is
displayed.
To configure a team with a VLAN
1. From the Teams menu, select Add VLAN.
2. The Welcome screen appears.
3. Click Expert Mode.
4. On the Create Team tab of the Manage Teams window, click Manage VLAN(s).
5. Type the VLAN name, then select the type and ID.
6. Click Create to save the VLAN information. As VLANs are defined, they can be selected from the Team Name list, but they
have not yet been created.
7. Continue this process until all VLANs are defined, then click OK to create them.
