Creating VLAN Adapter on Node

The New VLAN Interface screen (which can be accessed by clicking the Network tab on the Hardware Node dashboard, clicking the Network Adapters subtab, and following the New VLAN Interface link at the top of the displayed window) allows you to create new VLAN adapters. You can use these adapters later on to connect your Containers to the corresponding virtual local area networks.

To create a new VLAN adapter, you should provide the information in the following fields:

• VLAN Tag (mandatory): the ID to be assigned to the virtual local area network (VLAN) which will be associated with the VLAN adapter being created. As a VLAN ID, you can specify any integer in the range from 2 to 4095.
• Base Interface (optional): the physical network adapter on the Hardware Node to which the VLAN is to be bound. You can choose any of the Hardware Node physical adapters by selecting its name on the context menu.
• Assign Virtual Network (optional): the ID of the Virtuozzo Virtual Network where you wish to connect the VLAN adapter. You can join the VLAN adapter to any of the Virtual Networks available on the Hardware Node.

  Note: To learn more about the notion of Virtuozzo Virtual Networks and their relation to physical adapters, VLAN adapters, and Containers, please refer to the Managing Virtual Networks section.

When you are ready, click the Submit button to make the VLAN adapter with the specified parameters. The newly created adapter will be displayed in the Network Adapters table on the Network Adapters subtab.
