NOTE

: The virtual MAC identity that ASM assigns to the NIC depends on the network type

selected when adding a network.

• For a LAN network type, a virtual MAC address is assigned to the server.

• For an iSCSI network type, a virtual iSCSI MAC address is assigned to the server.

• For an FCoE network type, a virtual FIP MAC address is assigned to the server.

6. In the

VLAN ID field, type the VLAN ID between 1 and 4094.

NOTE

: ASM uses the VLAN ID specifically to configure I/O modules to enable network traffic to

flow from the server to configured networks during deployment.

NOTE

: The VLAN ID can be edited only if the network is not currently referenced by a template.
