Server VLAN tagging support
VLAN tunneling support
You can tunnel VLAN tags and map VLAN tags in the same domain. As of VC 3.30, tunneling and mapping
is configured at the network level, not at the domain level. Server VLAN tunneling is supported only on
networks with dedicated uplinks and cannot be used with shared uplink sets.
Server VLAN tagging support
When the 'Force server connections to use same VLAN mappings as shared uplink sets' check box is
selected, server ports connected to multiple VC Ethernet networks are forced to use the same VLAN mappings
as those used for the corresponding shared uplink sets. This action forces all server connections mapped to
multiple networks to be linked to a shared uplink set. Server administrators cannot override this selection
when creating or editing a profile. When this check box is selected, server network connections can only be
selected from a single shared uplink set.
When the 'Force server connections to use same VLAN mappings as shared uplink sets' check box is not
selected, server network connections can be selected from any VC Ethernet network and the external VLAN
