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
having multiple virtual adapters 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, do the following:
1. Click the Team Management button at the bottom of the BACS 3
window, or from the View menu, select Navigate, then Team
Management.
2. Select one of the listed teams.
3. From the Teams menu, select Add VLAN.
The Welcome screen appears.
4. Click Expert Mode.
5. On the Create Team tab of the Manage Teams window, click Manage
VLAN(s).
The Manage VLAN(s) Page is displayed. See Figure 36 on page 73.
6. Type the VLAN name, then select the type and ID.
7. 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.
8. Continue this process until all VLANs are defined, then click OK to
create them.
