    Enable the use of VLAN tagging for HMC LAN/network ports

    The HMC’s LAN/network ports do not accept VLAN‑tagged traffic when a public IP is configured. They expect untagged (access) frames on a single VLAN. If an HMC LAN port is connected to a switch port set as a trunk (carrying multiple 802.1Q‑tagged V...
