Adding a VLAN 

 

You can add virtual LANs (VLANs) to a team. This enables you to add multiple virtual adapters 

that are on different subnets. The benefit of this is that your system can have one network 

adapter that can belong to multiple subnets. With a VLAN, you can couple the functionality of 

load balancing for the load balance members, and you can employ a failover adapter.   

You can define up to 64 VLANs per team (63 VLANs that are tagged and 1 VLAN that is not 

tagged). VLANs can only be created when all teams members are Broadcom adapters. If you 

try to create a VLAN with a non-Broadcom adapter, an error message is displayed.
