VLAN filtering is supported for Windows, Linux, and VMware operating systems.
There are three modes associated with VLAN filtering:
Normal—Disables VLAN filtering. Packets are transmitted and received
regardless of VLAN ID.
Filtering—Enables VLAN filtering by the OS-assigned VLAN ID. Packets
without an OS-assigned VLAN ID can be tagged with the optional VLAN ID
specified for the transmitting port or function (PVID).
QinQ—Enables VLAN filtering by the specified PVID (external VLAN ID) and
the OS-assigned VLAN ID (internal VLAN ID). The transmitting port or
function adds the external VLAN ID to the packet. Packets are filtered first by
the external VLAN ID, and then the internal VLAN ID.
The following paragraphs describe how to configure VLAN filtering using the
Human Infrastructure Interface (HII) during preboot. You can also configure VLAN
filtering using QCC GUI, QCS CLI, FastLinQ ESXCLI VMware Plug-in, or the
QCC Plug-ins for vSphere. For information about these applications, see the
following resources:
