Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) are commonly used to split up groups of
network users into manageable broadcast domains, to create logical segmentation of
workgroups, and to enforce security policies among logical segments. Each adapter
supports up to 64 VLANs. With multiple VLANs on an adapter, a server with a single
adapter can have a logical presence on multiple IP subnets.
NOTE:
Adapters that are members of a Failover Team can also be configured to support
VLANs. Since VLANs are not supported for an Intel LOM, if an LOM is a member of a
Failover Team, VLANs cannot be configured for that team.
• Intel’s adaptive load balancing (ALB), supported by Intel's PROSet utility, offers a
simple way to increase server throughput up to 400 Mbps using Intel PRO/100 NICs.
Outgoing server traffic is balanced automatically among as many as four network
adapters. Each additional adapter adds another 100 Mbps link. Since the adapters
share the existing Internet protocol (IP) address, the network does not need to be
segmented or reconfigured. ALB can also be used over gigabit Ethernet links,
providing throughputs up to four Gbps.
Intel’s Intel's PROSet utility also provides support for Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT),
in which a secondary Intel PRO/100 adapter backs up the link between the primary
server and the switch for continued operation if the primary link fails.
When using the Intel PROSet utility with the PowerVault 75
x
N system, team
members are limited to the network connectivity of the system. Valid team members
include the 10/100 megabit (Mbit) embedded NIC, optional single-port 10/100 Mbit
NIC, and the optional dual-port 10/100 Mbit NIC.
