The same VLAN tag must be specified when defining the dedicated service
network that is to transport these packages.
The behavior of a dedicated service network is such that it receives tagged
packets from the server blade, but the tags are stripped when they leave the
uplink port. Incoming untagged packets at the uplink port are tagged and sent
to the corresponding downlink ports (internal ports)/blade server as tagged
packets. Incoming tagged packets at uplink ports are dropped.
Note that dedicated service networks may overlap on the downlink ports with
single networks, VLAN networks, other dedicated service networks, and
Service VLAN networks (explained below). The untagged packets received
from the server blade or uplink port should obey the rule of the single network
or VLAN network that overlaps with the dedicated service network.
The VLAN tags of the overlapping VLAN networks, dedicated serv-
ice networks and Service VLAN networks must be different.
Dedicated service networks cannot overlap with any other network at the
uplink ports. This means the uplink ports of a dedicated service network can
only be assigned to this dedicated network.
