General Configuration Notes
• Windows NT versions prior to 4.0 don’t support VLANs.
• VLANs require Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 5.0
(or later).
• In Windows NT and Windows 2000, VLANs cannot be implemented on
adapters that have been configured for teaming options.
• 802.1p/802.1q Tagging is required for VLANs to function. You can enable
this feature through the Advanced tab in PROSet.
• PRO/100 adapters only support VLANs configured in compliance with the
IEEE 802.1q specification. Only the PRO/100 Intelligent adapter supports
Cisco ISL (Inter-Switch Link) VLANs.

Priority Packet Overview
NOTE: This feature is not supported on PRO/100 VE, VM, and 82562EH based
Phoneline Desktop Adapters and Network Connections.
Intel Priority Packet is a traffic-prioritization utility that enables you to set up
priority filters to process high priority traffic before normal traffic. Using
Priority Packet, you can give priority to critical applications or users.
Priority Packet is available on the Intel adapter CD in the \PRTPKT
directory.
Prioritizing Network Traffic
Priority Packet lets you set up priority filters to send information from critical
nodes or applications with an indicated priority. By prioritizing traffic at the host
or entry point of the network, network devices can base forwarding decisions on
priority information defined in the packet.
Priority Packet prioritizes traffic based on priority filters — parameters you
assign to be applied to outgoing (transmit) packets. Using the Priority Filter
Wizard, you can set up pre-defined or custom priority filters based on a node
(MAC) address, Ethernet type, or by various properties of the protocol and port.
Priority Packet provides two different methods for prioritizing traffic: IEEE
802.1p tagging and Intel High Priority Queue.
IEEE 802.1p Tagging
IEEE 802.1p is a new IEEE standard for tagging, or adding additional bytes of
information to, packets with different priority levels. Packets are tagged with
four additional bytes, which increase the packet size and indicate a priority level.
When these packets are sent out on the network, the higher-priority packets are
transferred first. Priority packet tagging (also known as Traffic Class Expedit-
