Adding a VLAN

You can add virtual LANs (VLANs) to a team. This enables you to add multiple virtual adapters that are on
different subnets. The benefit of this is that your system can have one network adapter that can belong to
multiple subnets. With a VLAN, you can couple the functionality of load balancing for the load balance members,
and you can employ a failover adapter.
You can define up to 64 VLANs per team (63 VLANs that are tagged and 1 VLAN that is not tagged). VLANs
can only be created when all teams members are Broadcom adapters. If you try to create a VLAN with a non-
Broadcom adapter, an error message is displayed.
