Modifying VLANs
VLAN tagging enables AltaVault to direct network packets to specific virtual local area networks (VLANs) in order
to segment data traffic.
To display, add, or modify a VLAN configuration
1. Stop the Storage Optimization Service before adding or removing a VLAN. If needed, choose Maintenance >
Service and click Stop to terminate the service.
2. Choose Configure > VLANs.
3. Click Add a VLAN Interface and complete the configuration as described in this table.
4. Choose Maintenance > Service and click Start for the changes to take effect.
Mode Select one of the following modes:
• 802.3ad - Enables IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic Link Aggregation. This mode enables
you to bundle or aggregate multiple physical interfaces into a single VIF and enables
load balancing between the interfaces.
• Transmit/Receive Load Balance - Provides both transmit and receive load
balancing.
• Transmit Load Balance - Provides adaptive-transmit load balancing. The
AltaVault distributes the outgoing traffic based on the current load on each member
interface. One of the member interfaces of the VIF receives the incoming traffic.
Monitoring interval Specifies the Media Independent Interface (MII) link monitoring frequency in
milliseconds. This determines how often the link state of each slave is inspected for link
failures. A value of zero disables MII link monitoring. A value of 50 is a good starting
point.
Add Adds the VIF to your configuration.
Remove Selected Select the check box next to the existing VIF to remove, and click Remove Selected.
