Set NIC to boot from VLAN

[juanmarco]

The expectation is to boot from the NIC tagged.

To that end we have created a network set and a network with that VLAN and assigned it to the server profile. The slot is correct (verified by looking at the MAC address)

However the NIC is unable to perform PXE, looking at the config of the NIC there is no VLAN set.

Am I missing sth here?

Hi, Please check this UEFI user guide - https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=sd00002648en_us&docLocale=en_US&page=GUID-D7147C7F-2016-0901-0A69-000000000AA1.html

2. Complete the following.
   1. VLAN Control—Select Enabled to enable VLAN tagging on all enabled network interfaces. This setting is disabled by default.

I know, but that was not the question.

We need to do this for a lot of servers, which is why I posted in the Oneview forum.

What more am I supposed to explain?

How to activate VLAN tagging from Oneview such that the NIC PXE boots using tagged packets?

Hi, Currently the mentioend option is not available from the Oenview for DL servers. 

Please log a case with HPE for the urther information and assistance.
