Virtual LANs
Overview
NOTES:
l You must install the latest Microsoft* Windows* 10 updates before you can create Intel ANS
Teams or VLANs on Windows 10 systems. Any Intel ANS Teams or VLANs created with a
previous software/driver release on a Windows 10 system will be corrupted and cannot be
upgraded. The installer will remove these existing teams and VLANs.
l If you are running Windows 10 Anniversary edition (RS1) you will need to install Intel
LAN software v22.1 or newer.
l If you are running Windows 10 Creators Update (RS2) you will need to install Intel
LAN software v22.3 or newer.
NOTE: If you are running Windows 10 Creators Update (RS2) and are using
Intel LAN software release v22.1 or v22.2, then ANS will not function until
you update to the Intel LAN software v22.3 or newer.
l MicrosoftWindows Server2012 R2 is the last Windows Server operating system version
that supports IntelAdvanced Networking Services (Intel ANS). Intel ANS is not supported
on Microsoft Windows Server 2016 and later.
l Intel ANS VLANs are not compatible with Microsoft's Load Balancing and Failover (LBFO)
teams. Intel® PROSet will block a member of an LBFO team from being added to an Intel
ANS VLAN. You should not add a port that is already part of an Intel ANS VLAN to an LBFO
team, as this may cause system instability.
The term VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) refers to a collection of devices that communicate as if they
were on the same physical LAN. Any set of ports (including all ports on the switch) can be considered a
VLAN. LAN segments are not restricted by the hardware that physically connects them.
VLANs offer the ability to group computers together
into logical workgroups. This can simplify network
administration when connecting clients to servers
that are geographically dispersed across the
building, campus, or enterprise network.
Typically, VLANs consist of co-workers within the
same department but in different locations, groups
of users running the same network protocol, or a
cross-functional team working on a joint project.
By using VLANs on your network, you can:
l Improve network performance
l Limit broadcast storms
l Improve LAN configuration updates (adds, moves, and changes)
l Minimize security problems
l Ease your management task
