Adding a VLAN in Windows NT 4.0

Create a VLAN on the switch. Use the parameters you assign there to join
the VLAN from the server. See your switch documentation for more
information.

Double-click the Network icon in Control Panel.

On the Adapters tab, select the adapter you want to be on a VLAN and
click Properties.

In PROSet, click Join VLAN. Note that VLANs cannot be assigned to
adapters that are already in an Adapter Teaming option.
5
Enter the VLAN ID and VLAN Name. The VLAN ID must match the
VLAN ID on the switch. Valid ID range is from 0-4095. The VLAN Name
is for informational purposes only and doesn’t have to match the name on
the switch.

Click OK to join the VLAN. Repeat steps 3-5 for each VLAN you want the
server to join. The VLANs you add are listed on the Adapters tab.

Click Close and restart the computer.

If this is the first VLAN you're creating, you may see the following mes-
sage: “In order for VLANs to function, you must be connected to a switch
which supports IEEE VLANs (802.1Q).
Also, 802.1p/802.1Q Tagging must be enabled on this adapter. Would you
like to enable 802.1p/802.1Q Tagging on this adapter?”
If this message appears, click Yes to continue. PROSet will automatically
enable the 802.1p/802.1Q feature on the Advanced tab.

Enter the VLAN ID and VLAN Name and click OK.
The VLAN ID must match the VLAN ID on the switch. Valid ID range is
from 1-4094. The VLAN Name is for informational purposes only and
doesn't have to match the name on the switch.

Repeat steps 3 and 5 for each VLAN you want the server to join. 802.1p/
802.1q is enabled for all VLANs after it is enabled for the first VLAN. The
VLANs you add are listed on the Adapters tab.
