ServerGuide CDs. Failover for redundant Ethernet The IBM 10/100 Ethernet Adapter or the IBM 10/100 EtherJet PCI family of adapters are optional redundant network interface cards (NICs) that you can install in your server. If you install this NIC and connect it to the same logical segment as the primary Ethernet controller, you can configure the server to support a failover function.
Priority Packet information is available on the IBM Networking Web site at: http://www.ibm.com/networking/support. Priority Packet prioritizes traffic based on priority filters. These are parameters you assign to outgoing (transmit) packets.

802.1p. • The adapters on these devices must support 802.1p. The Ethernet controller in your server, all IBM Netfinity 10/100 Ethernet Security Adapters, and IBM 10/100 Ethernet Server Adapters support 802.1p. • The adapter cannot be assigned to an adapter team.
Page 68
Normally, Vlans are configured at the switch and any computer can be a member of one VLAN per installed network adapter. Your Ethernet controller supersedes this by communicating directly with the switch, allowing multiple VLANs on a single network adapter (up to 64 VLANs). To set up VLAN membership, your Ethernet controller must be attached to a switch that has VLAN capability.
Notes: 1. Windows NT versions prior to 4.0 do not support VLANs. 2. VLANs require NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3.0 and the NDIS driver from Microsoft. 3. In Windows NT, VLANs cannot be implemented on controllers that have been configured for teaming options.
