Re: Virtual Ethernet config/setup VLAN id

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

1-4095 is the range.

For any two LPARs that expect to communicate, the virtual Ethernet line 
needs to be using the same VLAN number.

In the usu7al case it's not used in IBM i but it CAN BE. If you check 
the box for 802.1q compatibility when creating the virtual Ethernet then 
you can list multiple VLANs in that section. With that you CAN specify 
any VLAN in that list when creating the IBM i TCP/IP Interface 
(ADDTCPIFC). If you leave the VLAN number at the default then the VLAN 
number specified in "Port Virtual Etherent (VLAN ID)" is used for that 
Interface.
