Analyze Why the Device Link Is Missing
You can create VLANs according to various criteria, but each VLAN must be assigned a VLAN tag or VLAN ID (VID). The VID is a 12-bit identifier between 1 and 4094 that identifies a unique VLAN. For each network interface (igb0, igb1, igb2, and so on), 4094 possible VLAN IDs can be selected for each port.
Tagging an Ethernet frame requires the addition of a tag header to the frame. The header is inserted immediately following the destination MAC address and the source MAC address. The tag header consists of two bytes of Ethernet Tag Protocol identifier (TPID, 0x8100) and two bytes of TCI. The TCI consists of a user priority, the CFI, and the VID.
By default, a single VLAN is configured for every port, which groups all ports into the same broadcast domain, just as if there were no VLANs at all. This means that VLAN tagging for the switch port is turned off.
Note - If you configure a VLAN virtual device for an Ethernet adapter, all traffic sent or received by that Ethernet adapter must be in VLAN-tagged format.
