NOTES:
l The VLAN ID keyword is supported. The VLAN ID must match the VLAN ID configured on
the switch. Adapters with VLANs must be connected to network devices that support IEEE
802.1Q.
l If you change a setting under the Advanced tab for one VLAN, it changes the settings for all
VLANS using that port.
l In most environments, a maximum of 64 VLANs per network port or team are supported by
Intel PROSet.
l ANS VLANs are not supported on adapters and teams that have VMQ enabled. However,
VLAN filtering with VMQ is supported via the Microsoft Hyper-V VLAN interface. For more
information see Using Intel® Network Adapters in a Microsoft* Hyper-V* Environment.
l You can have different VLAN tags on a child partition and its parent. Those settings are sep-
arate from one another, and can be different or the same. The only instance where the VLAN
tag on the parent and child MUST be the same is if you want the parent and child partitions to
be able to communicate with each other through that VLAN. For more information see Using
Intel® Network Adapters in a Microsoft* Hyper-V* Environment.
Teaming Tab
The Teaming tab allows you to create, modify, and delete adapter teams. You must install Advanced
Network Services in order to see this tab and use the feature.
Adapter Teaming
Intel® Advanced Network Services (Intel® ANS) Teaming lets you take advantage of multiple adapters in a
system by grouping them together. ANS teaming can use features like fault tolerance and load balancing to
increase throughput and reliability.
Before creating a team or adding team members, make sure each team member has been configured
similarly. Settings to check include VLANs and QoS Packet Tagging, Jumbo Packets, and the various
offloads. Pay particular attention when using different adapter models or adapter versions, as adapter
capabilities vary.
Configuration 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 soft-
ware/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 soft-
ware v22.1 or newer.
l If you are running Windows 10 Creators Update (RS2) you will need to install Intel LAN soft-
ware 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 Microsoft*Windows Server*2012 R2 is the last Windows Server operating system version that sup-
ports IntelAdvanced Networking Services (Intel ANS). Intel ANS is not support on Microsoft Windows
Server 2016 and later.
