See
1 Click the VLANs tab.
2 In the VLANs window, select a NIC or group from the
VLANs list and click Create VLAN.
3 In the VLAN ID dialog box, type a VLAN ID number
and click OK.
Legal VLAN ID numbers are from 1–511 and from

reserved. The new VLAN is added to the VLANs list.
Restart Windows NT when the software prompts you to
do so.
Observe these VLAN configuration guidelines:

These memory requirements are for multiple VLAN
configurations. You can improve overall system
performance with VLANs by increasing the physical
RAM, the virtual memory page size, or both.

Creating a Load Balancing/RSL and VLAN Configuration
Figure 6 and follow these steps:
DynamicAccess software supports as many as 64 VLANs
per server.
A unique VLAN ID must be specified for each VLAN in
a group.
Each VLAN bound to TCP/IP must exist on a separate
IP subnet. DHCP servers used to allocate IP addresses
must be located on the same IP subnets as the VLANs.
Each VLAN bound to the IPX/SPX protocol must use
a unique network number.
To avoid problems associated with blocked multicast
streams, configure end stations that support the
IEEE 802.1p GARP Multicast Registration Protocol
specification (GMRP) on separate switch segments
from stations that do not support it.
