connected to tag-capable end-stations, such as servers or workstations with Broadcom adapters.

Adding VLANs to Teams

Each team supports up to 64 VLANs (63 tagged and 1 untagged). Note that only Broadcom adapters and Alteon
adapters can be part of a team with VLANs. With multiple VLANs on an adapter, a server with a single adapter can have a
logical presence on multiple IP subnets. With multiple VLANs in a team, a server can have a logical presence on multiple IP
subnets and benefit from load balancing and failover. For instructions on adding a VLAN to a team, see
Windows operating systems.
NOTE: Adapters that are members of a failover team can also be configured to support VLANs. Because VLANs are not
supported for an Intel LOM, if an Intel LOM is a member of a failover team, VLANs cannot be configured for that team.
