HP-UX VLAN Features
Following are some of the features of HP-UX VLANs:
• HP-UX VLANs are implemented with host-based IEEE 802.1Q/p
compliant tagging to allow configuring multiple VLANs on a given
Ethernet LAN card based on their IP-subnet, protocol, or LAN card
port.
• HP VLANs are for use over fast Ethernet or gigabit Ethernet LAN
cards that run on HP-UX 11i v2 servers and workstations. HP-UX
supports up to 1024 VLANs for the entire system.
• HP-UX VLANs do not require you to rewrite applications, install
new hardware, or recable. They are also compatible with HP
MC/ServiceGuard as well as HP’s online addition and replacement
(OLAR) capabilities.
