After a team has been deleted, the corresponding QLogic VT-IM Miniport Driver 
logical interface is removed from the Microsoft Windows Network Connections 
window. Enter the Windows command, ipconfig /all, to list the physical 
network interfaces that comprised the team.
VLAN Tagging
VLAN is a logical grouping of network users and resources connected to a switch 
to segment a physical network. By default, all switches are part of a single 
broadcast domain in the layer-2 switched network. Creating a VLAN makes it is 
possible to break up a single broadcast domain into smaller domains within a 
switch by assigning different ports to different subnets. The benefits of using 
VLAN include broadcast control, security, flexibility, and scalability.
VLAN tagging assigns a VLAN ID to a NIC interface. The most commonly used 
protocol for VLAN tagging is the virtual LANs IEEE 802.1Q. Using this protocol, 
the QLogic 8100 adapter NIC function assigns a VLAN ID to each frame that it 
transmits. The connected switch understands that the tag and packets are 
switched only within the VLAN. Communication across VLANs requires a layer-3 
router.
The QLogic 8100 Series Adapter supports a maximum of 64 VLANs per port and 
a maximum of 1,024 VLANs per server.
Configuring VLAN Tagging Using the Adapter NIC Function
VLAN tagging can be done for individual physical ports or for a team. You can also 
configure VLAN tagging using the QConvergeConsole CLI, which requires the 
QLogic VLAN/teaming driver.
To configure VLAN tagging using the adapter NIC function: 
1.
Download and install QConvergeConsole CLI. The install package and 
instructions are available at 
2.
Start the QConvergeConsole CLI by clicking its desktop icon. 
3.
In the main Interactive Menu, type 2 and press ENTER to select Host Level 
Info and Operations.
NOTE:
VLAN ID cannot be set for interfaces that are part of a team. The team VLAN 
ID is set at the team level.
NOTE:
Creating, modifying, or dissolving network VLANs can cause loss of 
connectivity. Do not attempt to configure VLANs on production systems
