To assign HPQ, you can specify it using Priority Packet when you create or assign a filter. To effectively use HPQ, the adapter cannot be assigned to an adapter team. Virtual LAN mode: A virtual LAN is a logical grouping of network devices put together as a LAN, regardless of their physical grouping or collision domains. Using VLANs increases network performance and improves network security. VLANs offer you the ability to group users and devices together into logical workgroups. This can simplify network administration when connecting clients to servers that are geographically dispersed across the building, campus, or enterprise network. Typically, VLANs are configured at the switch and any server can be a member of one VLAN per installed network adapter. Your Ethernet controller supersedes this by communicating directly with the switch, enabling multiple VLANs on a single network adapter (up to 64 VLANs). To set up VLAN membership, your Ethernet controller must be attached to a switch that has VLAN capability. You also need to use Windows NT 4.0 or later, or Novell NetWare 4.1x or later. Notes: 1. Windows NT versions prior to 4.0 do not support VLANs. 2. VLANs require NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3.0 and the network driver interface specification (NDIS) driver hotfix from Microsoft. 3. In Windows NT, VLANs cannot be implemented on controllers that have been configured for teaming options. NetWare can support teaming options and VLANs on the same adapters. Complete the following steps to join a VLAN from Windows NT 4.0. 1. Create a VLAN on the switch. Use the parameters you assign there to join the VLAN from the server. Refer to your switch documentation for more information. 2. Double-click the Network icon in the Control Panel window. 3. On the Adapters tab, select the adapter you want to be on the VLAN and click Properties. 4. In IBMSet, click Join VLAN. Note that VLANs cannot be assigned to adapters that are already defined to have an adapter teaming option. 5. Type the VLAN ID and VLAN name. The VLAN ID must match the VLAN ID of the switch. The ID range is from 1 to 1000. The VLAN name is for information only and does not need to match the name on the switch. 6. Click Join VLAN. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for each VLAN you want the server to join. The VLANs you add are listed on the Adapters tab. 7. Click Close and restart the server. Ethernet connector There is an RJ-45 Ethernet connector on the back of the server. See "I/O connector locations" on page 51 for the location of this connector. The following table shows the pin-number assignments for the Ethernet connector. 58 IBM xSeries 200: User's Reference

IBM xSeries 200: User’s Reference
To assign HPQ, you can specify it using Priority Packet when you create or assign a
filter.
To effectively use HPQ, the adapter cannot be assigned to an adapter team.
Virtual LAN mode:
A virtual LAN is a logical grouping of network devices put
together as a LAN, regardless of their physical grouping or collision domains. Using
VLANs increases network performance and improves network security.
VLANs offer you the ability to group users and devices together into logical
workgroups. This can simplify network administration when connecting clients to
servers that are geographically dispersed across the building, campus, or enterprise
network.
Typically, VLANs are configured at the switch and any server can be a member of one
VLAN per installed network adapter. Your Ethernet controller supersedes this by
communicating directly with the switch, enabling multiple VLANs on a single network
adapter (up to 64 VLANs).
To set up VLAN membership, your Ethernet controller must be attached to a switch
that has VLAN capability. You also need to use Windows NT 4.0 or later, or Novell
NetWare 4.1x or later.
Notes:
1.
Windows NT versions prior to 4.0 do not support VLANs.
2.
VLANs require NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3.0 and the network driver interface
specification (NDIS) driver hotfix from Microsoft.
3.
In Windows NT, VLANs cannot be implemented on controllers that have been
configured for teaming options. NetWare can support teaming options and VLANs
on the same adapters.
Complete the following steps to join a VLAN from Windows NT 4.0.
1.
Create a VLAN on the switch. Use the parameters you assign there to join the
VLAN from the server. Refer to your switch documentation for more information.
2.
Double-click the
Network
icon in the Control Panel window.
3.
On the Adapters tab, select the adapter you want to be on the VLAN and click
Properties
.
4.
In IBMSet, click
Join VLAN
. Note that VLANs cannot be assigned to adapters
that are already defined to have an adapter teaming option.
5.
Type the VLAN ID and VLAN name. The VLAN ID must match the VLAN ID of the
switch. The ID range is from 1 to 1000. The VLAN name is for information only
and does not need to match the name on the switch.
6.
Click
Join VLAN
. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for each VLAN you want the server to
join. The VLANs you add are listed on the Adapters tab.
7.
Click
Close
and restart the server.
Ethernet connector
There is an RJ-45 Ethernet connector on the back of the server. See “I/O connector
locations” on page 51 for the location of this connector. The following table shows the
pin-number assignments for the Ethernet connector.
