Configuring VLANs
VLAN Configuration is optional. Before configuring VLANs, see “VLANs Overview” on
page 102.
NOTE:
All other NICs added to the team are reconfigured automatically to match
the team configuration. When the basic configuration properties of a team are
changed, this changes the configuration of all NICs in the team. However, when
a NIC is removed from any failover teams, it will operate according to the
parameters set for it before becoming a member of a failover team.
NOTE:
At least one NIC must be displayed in the Team Members list box.
NOTE:
NICs that are part of a team inherit all the basic configuration properties of
the team, including VLANs associated with the team. If you delete a team, any
VLANs configured for that team will also be deleted.
