VLAN Interfaces on Windows
This step by step guide is for configuring VLAN interfaces on Microsoft Windows based operating systems (Images below taken from a Windows 2012 R2 Server)
For the following guide we will use the following data and assume that you are running all commands as the Administrator user:
| Type | Value |
|---|---|
| VLAN Tag | 2 |
| IP Address | 192.0.2.1 |
| Netmask | 255.255.255.0 |
| Device | Local Area Connection |
Step-by-step guide
How to do it:
- Go to Server Manager > Local server and click on “NIC Teaming“.
- Create a new Team with a single interface (TEAMS > TASKS > New TEAM). Select the desired interface and give it a name.
- Select “Adapter and Interfaces” windows and Click on TASKS > Add Interface
- Configure the specific VLAN and click “OK“.
- To add another VLAN interface on the same port, repeat step #4
- To assign an IP address to the new interface, click on Network Connections and find the right VLAN interface you’ve just added. Then, configure the IP similarly to any other interface.
