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 select Properties. 4. In IBMSet, select Join VLAN. Note that VLANs cannot be assigned to adapters that are already defined to have an adapter teaming option. 5. Enter 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. Select 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. Select Close and restart the computer. Ethernet connector: There is an RJ-45 Ethernet connector on the back of the server, see "I/O connector locations" on page 72 for the location of this connector. The following table shows the pin-number assignments for the Ethernet connector. Chapter 5. Installing options 81

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
select
Properties
.
4.
In
IBMSet,
select
Join
VLAN
.
Note
that
VLANs
cannot
be
assigned
to
adapters
that
are
already
defined
to
have
an
adapter
teaming
option.
5.
Enter
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.
Select
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.
Select
Close
and
restart
the
computer.
Ethernet
connector:
There
is
an
RJ-45
Ethernet
connector
on
the
back
of
the
server,
see
“I/O
connector
locations”
on
page
72
for
the
location
of
this
connector.
The
following
table
shows
the
pin-number
assignments
for
the
Ethernet
connector.
