3. Under Control channel:
• Set Establish control channel on to Port 1.
• Select the Dedicate this port for teaming checkbox.
• Set VLAN ID to 5. This creates the teaming control channel on VLAN 5, tagged, on port
1 on the controller. (Important: This VLAN is not shown on the Controller > Network >
VLANs page, and is not created using a network profile. It is explicitly defined here only.)
Make sure that the network switch to which this port is connected is also configured with
VLAN 5, tagged.
• Set IP address to 192.168.5.2, which is the IP address this controller will use to establish
the teaming control channel. The IP addresses for all teamed controllers must be on the
same subnet. This subnet cannot be the same as the subnet used for Team management
IP address, or for the Access network or Internet network.
• Set Mask to 255.255.255.0.
