by communicating directly with the switch, enabling
multiple VLANs on a single network adapter (up to 64
VLANs).
To set up VLAN membership, your Ethernet controller must
be attached to a switch that has VLAN capability. You also
need to use Windows NT 4.0 or later, or Novell NetWare
4.1x or later.
Notes:
1. Windows NT versions prior to 4.0 do not support
VLANs.
2. VLANs require NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3.0 and the
network driver interface specification (NDIS) driver
hotfix from Microsoft.
3. In Windows NT, VLANs cannot be implemented on
controllers that have been configured for teaming
options. NetWare can support teaming options and
VLANs on the same adapters.
Complete the following steps to join a VLAN from Windows
NT 4.0:
1. Create a VLAN on the switch. Use the parameters you
assign there to join the VLAN from the server. Refer to
your switch documentation for more information.
2. Double-click the Network icon in the Control Panel
window.
3. On the Adapters tab, select the adapter you want to be
on the VLAN and select Properties.
4. In IBMSet, select Join VLAN. Note that VLANs cannot
be assigned to adapters that are already defined to
have an adapter teaming option.
5. Enter the VLAN ID and VLAN name. The VLAN ID
must match the VLAN ID of the switch. The ID range is
from 1 to 1000. The VLAN name is for information only
and does not need to match the name on the switch.
6. Select Join VLAN. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for each
VLAN you want the server to join. The VLANs you add
are listed on the Adapters tab.
7. Select Close and restart the computer.
Ethernet connector: There is an RJ-45 Ethernet
connector on the back of the server, see "I/O connector
locations" on page 72 for the location of this connector.
The following table shows the pin-number assignments for
the Ethernet connector.
