How to add multiple VLAN interfaces to a single NIC team

vlanwindows-server-2003

I'd like to setup multiple IPs (I know how to do this) and multiple VLAN interfaces to a NIC team I have setup.

I'm using the HP Network Configuration Utility to setup my NIC team so I'll need to setup the VLAN using that within Windows.

Can anybody tell me how to use multiple VLANs on a single NIC team so as not to bring down traffic on the current VLAN that I have setup?

Thanks in advance.

If you haven't figured this out already, update to the latest firmware, drivers, and NCU software. Adding multiple vlans is quite easy and they'll show up in Windows as new NICs.

In NCU select the team, then open the properties of that "interface". On the vlan tab add named vlans by their ID. If traffic is currently being used on the port make sure you don't change the Native settings or existing configurations.

That sounds like just about everything you need to do. On the windows side of things, go to the properties of your nic and hit the configure button next to your nic's name. there should be a tab (assuming intel or broadcom) that says VLAN. Add the vlans you want, and individual nics will appear in the network connections. On the switch side (assuming cisco), in the interface configuration mode, use:

 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 5,15,101,900
 switchport mode trunk

would obviously be if you wanted 4 separate interfaces, one for each of the vlans listed above.

If you are really talking about VLANs (802.1q), then this is for your network/interfaces:

auto vlan42
iface vlan42 inet static
        vlan-raw-device eth0
        address   10.1.2.3
        netmask   255.255.255.0

Your eth0 can be configured just like a normal interface which is then the untagged (aka native) VLAN.

I think it should be possible to use inet dhcp instead of inet static and omit the address and netmask parameters.

Oh, and the vlan package has to be installed!
