Network Adapter Card Installation Guide - Book II

Example:

Vlan_0_ID=2;

Vlan_100_ID=122;

This parameter defines the VLAN ID as specified in IEEE 802.1Q. It is used

to distinguish the VLANs in VLAN capable drivers and switches. For this

reason it is not allowed to use a chosen VLAN ID on the same adapter (in

Single Net mode) or on the same port (in Dual Net mode) again! The

value for Vlan_<number>_ID can be any value in the range from 1 to

4094.

Note

Please be careful: switches that are VLAN capable often have a

default VLAN configured. Do not choose the same VLAN ID as used

in the switch or change the ID of the switch default VLAN.

Parameter: Vlan_Inst<instance>_Count

Type: integer

Default value: None! You MUST set this value!

Valid values: 1 up to the number of VLANs configured for the

appropriate adapter.

<instance> is a placeholder that has to be replaced with the actual

instance number of the adapter given by the system. This parameter has

to be set to enable the driver to check the completeness of all VLAN

parameters you must set during configuration.

Example: We use the sample entry from the beginning of this chapter to

show the use of this parameter.

Vlan_Inst0_Enable="Yes";

Vlan_0_DevNum=0;

Vlan_0_ID=2;

Vlan_0_Jumbo="Off";

Vlan_100_DevNum=100;

Vlan_100_ID=4;

Vlan_100_Jumbo="On";

Vlan_Inst0_Count=2;

Two VLANs have been configured for this adapter. Therefore

Vlan_Inst0_Count is set to 2.

If you, for example, forget to set Vlan_100_ID, the driver will ouput the

following message on the console:
