Adding a VLAN ID to the System

When you add a VLAN to a node, the network and CTP devices are restarted to update the network parameters. The node is not restarted.

Note:

For VLAN failover to function correctly, VLANs must be configured on the primary Ethernet interface (for example, eth1) that has IPv4 configured and Ethernet failover enabled.

To add a VLAN ID to the system from the CTP Menu:

  1. From the Main Menu, select 5) Node Operations > 3) Configure network settings > 8) VLAN Configuration.
  2. Follow the onscreen instructions and configure the options as described in Table 1.
