packets, the packets from the application with a filter are sent out first. HPQ doesnot change network routing, nor does it add any information to the packets.To assign HPQ, you can specify it using Priority Packet when you create or assigna filter.To effectively use HPQ tagging, the adapter cannot be assigned to an adapter team.Virtual LAN Mode: A virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical grouping of networkdevices put together as a LAN, regardless of their physical grouping or collisiondomains. Using VLANs increases network performance and improves networksecurity.VLANs offer you the ability to group users and devices together into logicalworkgroups. This can simplify network administration when connecting clients toserver/workstations that are geographically dispersed across the building, campus,or enterprise network.Normally, VLANs are configured at the switch and any computer can be a memberof one VLAN per installed network adapter. Your Ethernet controller supersedesthis by communicating directly with the switch, allowing multiple VLANs on asingle network adapter (up to 64 VLANs).To set up VLAN membership, your Ethernet controller must be attached to aswitch that has VLAN capability. You also need to use Windows NT 4.0 or later, orNovell 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 NDIS driver hotfix fromMicrosoft.3. In Windows NT, VLANs cannot be implemented on controllers that have beenconfigured for teaming options. NetWare can support teaming options andVLANs on the same adapters.To join a VLAN from Windows NT 4.0:1. Create a VLAN on the switch. Use the parameters you assign there to join theVLAN from the server/workstation. Refer to your switch documentation formore 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 selectProperties.4. In IBMSet, select Join VLAN. Note that VLANs cannot be assigned to adaptersthat are already defined to have an adapter teaming option.5. Enter the VLAN ID and VLAN name. The VLAN ID must match the VLAN IDof the switch. The ID range is from 1 to 1000. The VLAN name is forinformation 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 theserver/workstation to join. The VLANs you add are listed on the Adapters tab.7. Select Close and restart the computer.Ethernet port connector: The following table shows the pin-number assignmentsfor the RJ-45 connector. These assignments apply to both 10BASE-T andInstalling options 107
