before becoming active. If you don't want your team to failback when the original
adapter gets link back, you can set the Allow Failback setting to disabled (located on
the Advanced tab of the team's properties in Device Manager).
VLANs
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) refers to a collection of devices that communicate
as if they were on the same physical LAN. VLANs offer the ability to group computers
together into logical workgroups. This can simplify network administration when
connecting clients to servers that are geographically dispersed across the building,
campus, or enterprise network.
NOTES:
• When using IEEE 802 VLANs, settings must match between the switch and those
adapters using the VLANs.
• To set up IEEE VLAN membership (multiple VLANs), the adapter must be attached to
a switch with IEEE 802.1Q VLAN capability.
• A maximum of 64 VLANs per network port or team are supported by Intel software.
• VLANs can co-exist with teaming. If you do this, the team must be defined first, then
you can set up your VLAN.
• You can set up only one untagged VLAN per adapter or team. You must have at least
one tagged VLAN before you can set up an untagged VLAN.
• Intel ANS VLANs are not compatible with Microsoft's LBFO teams. Intel® PROSet
will block a member of an LBFO team from being added to an Intel ANS VLAN. You
should not add a port that is already part of an Intel ANS VLAN to an LBFO team, as
this may cause system instability.
Configuring VLANs
1. Open the Device Manager and expand the Network Adapters section.
2. Right-click the Intel i350 Gigabit Network Connection you wish to configure and
select Properties.
3. Click the VLANs tab.
4. Add, Remove or Modify your VLAN settings as applicable to your network.
5. Click OK to apply the changes.
