4 Configuring VLAN Settings in Lifecycle Controller for Dell PowerEdge Servers
Introduction
This document provides information about setting up and configuring VLAN settings on a Network Port
using Lifecycle Controller on the 12th generation servers of Dell to the users.
The VLAN Tagging implementation is based on IEEE 802.1Q. Lifecycle Controller supports the static VLANs
which are port-based. It supports the VLAN IDs 1–4094 and the Priority 0–7. The scope of VLAN Settings
explained in this white paper is limited to the Lifecycle Controller.
The VLAN settings can be configured to network port to perform various network operations that are
supported by Lifecycle Controller such as firmware updates using FTP, Export Lifecycle Log or Hardware
Inventory, perform backup and restore to the network share such as NFS and CIFS or configure a DHCP IP
address.
For more information about the Lifecycle Controller and supported features, refer to Lifecycle Controller2
1.3 User’s Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals.
Note: For the list of the supported and unsupported network cards, refer to Appendix A and Appendix B
later in this white paper.
Note: The VLAN settings feature is supported only on the Dell 12
th
generation servers and later versions.
