Step 4. Select the VLAN to be removed.
Step 5. Click Remove and confirm the operation.
3.5.5 Configuring a Port to Work with VLAN in Windows 2012 and Above
To configure a port to work with VLAN using the Device Manager.
Step 1. Open the Device Manager.
Step 2. Go to the Network adapters.
Step 3. Right click ' Properties on Mellanox ConnectX®-3 Ethernet Adapter card.
Step 4. Go to Advanced tab.
Step 5. Choose the VLAN ID in the Property window.
Step 6. Set its value in the Value window.
3.6 Ports TX Arbitration
On a setup with a dual-port NIC with both ports at link speed of 40GbE, each individual port can
achieve maximum line rate. When both ports are running simultaneously in a high throughput
scenario, the total throughput is bottlenecked by the PCIe bus, and in this case each port may not
achieve its maximum of 40GbE.
Ports TX Arbitration ensures bandwidth precedence is given to one of the ports on a dual-port
NIC, enabling the preferred port to achieve the maximum throughput and the other port taking up
the rest of the remaining bandwidth.
To configure Ports TX Arbitration:
Step 1. Open the Device Manager.
Step 2. Go to the Network adapters.
Step 3. Right click ' Properties on Mellanox ConnectX®-3 Ethernet Adapter card.
Step 4. Go to Advanced tab.
In this procedure you DO NOT create a VLAN, rather use an existing VLAN ID.
