Priority & VLAN

Priority allows you to prioritize traffic or limit bandwidth instead of treating
all traffic in the same manner. A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a
logical area network that extends beyond a traditional LAN to a group
of logical LANs.

By default, this property is set to Priority & VLAN Enabled.

To set the port priority and assign a VLAN ID, do the following:

1. Access the Device Manger for your operating system.

To access the Windows XP Device Manager, see “Selecting the
Device Manager Window” on page 47
.

To access the Windows Vista Device Manager, see “Selecting the
Device Manager” on page 39.

To access the Windows 7 Device Manager, see “Selecting the
Device Manager Window” on page 54
.

2. Click the Advanced tab.

The Advanced tab is shown in Figure 31 on page 64.

3. From the Property list on the Advanced tab, select “Priority & VLAN.”

4. In the Value list on the Advanced tab, select one of the following:

Priority & VLAN Disabled

Priority & VLAN Enabled

Priority Enabled

VLAN Enabled

5. Click OK.

6. If prompted to restart your computer, click Yes.

Although it is not necessary to reboot the system for new adapter
properties to take effect, rebooting is recommended to reinitialize all
registers.

7. Verify that the port LED operates as described in “Physical

Description” on page 20.
