Adding VLANs to Teams

Adding VLANs to Teams
Each team supports up to 64 VLANs (63 tagged and 1 untagged). Note that only
QLogic adapters and Alteon
®
AceNIC adapters can be part of a team with VLANs.
With multiple VLANs on an adapter, a server with a single adapter can have a
logical presence on multiple IP subnets. With multiple VLANs in a team, a server
can have a logical presence on multiple IP subnets and benefit from load
balancing and failover.
NOTE
VLAN tagging is only required to be enabled on switch ports that create
trunk links to other switches, or on ports connected to tag-capable
end-stations, such as servers or workstations with QLogic adapters.
For Hyper-V
®
, create VLANs in the vSwitch-to-VM connection instead of in a
team, to allow VM live migrations to occur without having to ensure the
future host system has a matching team VLAN setup.
NOTE
You can configure adapters that are members of a failover team to also
support VLANs. Because VLANs are not supported for an Intel LOM, if an
Intel LOM is a member of a failover team, you cannot configure VLANs for
that team.
