The term VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) refers to a collection of devices that communicate as if they were on the same
physical LAN. VLAN information covered in this section includes the following:

VLAN Properties
The VLAN protocol permits insertion of a tag into an Ethernet frame to identify the VLAN to which a frame belongs. If present,
the four-byte VLAN tag is inserted into the Ethernet frame between the source MAC address and the length and type field.
The first two bytes of the VLAN tag consist of the 802.1q tag type; the second two bytes include a user priority field and the
VLAN identifier (VID).
For QLogic adapters, VLAN tagging is done according to the IEEE 802.1q protocol and the process is the same whether it is a
single port or a team.
Multiple VLANs can be configured over a single port or a team of ports up to a maximum of 64 VLANs. Each VLAN is
represented by a virtual network interface that is bound to the protocols.
Using the CLI for VLANs
Use the QConvergeConsole CLI utility to view, add, and delete VLANs.
To display a list of VLANs, issue the following command:
qaucli -nic -vlanlist
To view VLAN information, issue the following command:
qaucli -nic -vlaninfo [vlan_inst|ALL]
To preview a VLAN before adding it to a port or team, issue the following command:
qaucli -nic -vlanadd_preview
To add a VLAN to a port or team, issue the following command:
qaucli -nic -vlanadd <list_insts> <vlan_id>
where list_insts are comma-separated port indices (for example, 1,2) and vlan_id is the comma-separated numeric
value (for example, 1...4095 or 100,555). Use the -vlanadd_preview command to preview list indices.
To preview a VLAN before removing it from a port or team, issue the following command to list the indices to use in the -
vlandel command:
qaucli -nic -vlandel_preview
To remove a VLAN from a port or team, issue the following command:
qaucli -nic -vlandel <list_insts|ALL> <vlan_id|ALL
where list_insts specifies the comma-separated port indices (for example, 1,2), vlan_id specifies a comma-separated
numeric value (for example, 1...4095 or 100,555). Use the -vlandel_preview command to preview list indices.
To view the content of VLAN and teaming state configuration, issue the following command:
qaucli -nic -vtcfgview [state_cfg_file]
To save the VLAN and teaming state configuration, issue the following command:
