Virtual LANs: Broadcom NetXtreme II Network Adapter User Guide Accounting Server PCs #1 and #2 PC #3 PC #4 PC #5 separation between all of them. Available to VLAN #3 only. The Accounting Server is isolated from all traffic on VLANs #1 and #2. The switch port connected to the server has tagging turned off. Attached to a shared media hub that is then connected to the switch. PCs #1 and #2 belong to VLAN #2 only, and are logically in the same IP subnet as the Main Server and PC #5. The switch port connected to this segment has tagging turned off. A member of VLAN #1, PC #3 can communicate only with the Main Server and PC #5. Tagging is not enabled on PC #3 switch port. A member of VLAN #3, PC #4 can only communicate with the servers. Tagging is not enabled on PC #4 switch port. A member of both VLANs #1 and #2, PC #5 has an Broadcom adapter installed. It is connected to switch port #10. Both the adapter and the switch port are configured for VLANs #1 and #2 and have tagging enabled. NOTE: VLAN tagging is only required to be enabled on switch ports that create trunk links to other switches, or on ports connected to tag-capable end-stations, such as servers or workstations with Broadcom adapters. Adding VLANs to Teams Each team supports up to 64 VLANs (63 tagged and 1 untagged). Note that only Broadcom adapters and Alteon® AceNIC adapters can be part of a team with VLANs. With multiple VLANs on an adapter, a server with a single adapter can have a logical presence on multiple IP subnets. With multiple VLANs in a team, a server can have a logical presence on multiple IP subnets and benefit from load balancing and failover. For instructions on adding a VLAN to a team, see Adding a VLAN for Windows operating systems. NOTE: Adapters that are members of a failover team can also be configured to support VLANs. Because VLANs are not supported for an Intel LOM, if an Intel LOM is a member of a failover team, VLANs cannot be configured for that team. Please read all Restrictions and Disclaimers.
