This means that you can only use each IP address once, with the vRack version 2.0 you can create up to 4000 vLans within a single vRack. This means that for each IP which you use, you can use it up to 4000 times by tagging each IP address on the vRack interface.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>UNIX:<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Ubuntu, sans-serif;\">Once you have the basic setup of the vRack 1.5 the changes to enable vRack 2.0 is done from the configuration level under the OS of the server. Based on our previous configuration we had:<\/span><\/p>\n<pre><code>auto eth1\r\niface eth1 inet static\r\naddress 192.168.0.50\r\nnetmask 255.255.0.0\r\nbroadcast 192.168.255.255<\/code><\/pre>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Ubuntu, sans-serif;\">We have set the server to have the private IP address of 192.168.0.1, there isn\u2019t any tagging on the server. This means that the IP address can only be used once otherwise it will cause IP collision. To make use of the vRack 2.0 we need to run the following commands:<\/span><\/p>\n<pre><code>vconfig add eth1 10\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Ubuntu, sans-serif;\">Here we can see that we have specified the eth1 interface to tag the connection LAN of 10:<\/span><\/p>\n<pre><code>Added VLAN with VID == 10 to IF -:eth1:-<\/code><\/pre>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Ubuntu, sans-serif;\">We would also need to declare the IP address range within the vRack 2.0. We can do this with the following command:<\/span><\/p>\n<pre><code>ip addr add 192.168.0.0\/16 dev eth1.10<\/code><\/pre>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Ubuntu, sans-serif;\">This will activate the address range for the interface eth1 for the tag value of 10.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Ubuntu, sans-serif;\">By using our previous configuration we can make some changes to the adapter by declaring the tag for the vLan:<\/span><\/p>\n<pre><code>auto eth1<strong>.10<\/strong>\r\niface eth1<strong>.10<\/strong> inet static\r\naddress 192.168.0.50\r\nnetmask 255.255.0.0\r\nbroadcast 192.168.255.255<\/code><\/pre>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Ubuntu, sans-serif;\">This will change our IP configuration to become:<\/span><\/p>\n<pre><code>eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:25:90:a6:aa:e9\r\n          inet6 addr: fe80::225:90ff:fea6:aae9\/64 Scope:Link\r\n          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1\r\n          RX packets:5305 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0\r\n          TX packets:42 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0\r\n          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000\r\n          RX bytes:330014 (330.0 KB)  TX bytes:2936 (2.9 KB)\r\n          Memory:fb900000-fb920000\r\n\r\n<strong>eth1.10<\/strong>   Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:25:90:a6:aa:e9\r\n          inet addr:192.168.0.50  Bcast:192.168.255.255  Mask:255.255.0.0\r\n          inet6 addr: fe80::225:90ff:fea6:aae9\/64 Scope:Link\r\n          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1\r\n          RX packets:89 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0\r\n          TX packets:34 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0\r\n          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0\r\n          RX bytes:7909 (7.9 KB)  TX bytes:2288 (2.2 KB)<\/code><\/pre>\n<h2>Windows:<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Ubuntu, sans-serif;\">Under Windows Server 2012 R2 you need to make the changes under \u201cServer Manager\u201d:<\/span><\/p>\n<pre><code>Server Manager &gt;&gt; Local Server &gt;&gt; NIC Teaming &gt;&gt; Disabled<\/code><\/pre>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Ubuntu, sans-serif;\">From here a new pop up window will appear.
