Defining server VLAN mappings
Forced VLAN Mappings
If the 'Force same VLAN mappings as Shared Uplink Sets' option is selected, server VLAN mappings are
the same as the shared uplink set VLAN mappings. Users can choose only from a list of shared uplink sets
when selecting Multiple Networks. After selecting a shared uplink set from the drop-down list, a list of
vNets that belong to the chosen shared uplink set is displayed. Next to each network is a checkbox to
allow the user to select or deselect individual networks to be connected to the server. If the shared uplink
set has more than 28 networks, only the first 28 are selected to enforce the maximum number of VLAN
mappings supported on a server.
The server VLAN mappings are the same as those used on the shared uplink set, which are automatically
displayed and cannot be changed. One of the networks can also be selected as the 'Untagged' network,
which means that untagged packets are placed on that vNet, and the VC-Enet module also transmits
untagged to the server for that network.
The 'untagged' network defaults to be the 'Native' network, but it does not have to be the same as the
'Native' network on the shared uplink set. In fact, each server port can designate a different untagged
network. The external VLAN mapping is ignored when the network is untagged.
