Because the installation and configuration of this
adapter requires a full understanding of Virtual LANs
(VLANs), Virtual Network Interface Cards (VNICs),
and trunks (as defined by Cisco Systems), it is very
important that you follow this User Guide the first
time you install the ZX361-ISL Adapter.
