server is able to communicate on all three IP subnets in this network, but continues to maintain broadcast
separation between all of them.
Accounting
Server
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.
PCs #1 and
#2
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.
PC #3
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.
PC #4
A member of VLAN #3, PC #4 can only communicate with the servers. Tagging is not enabled on PC #4 switch
port.
PC #5
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.
