Intel i210 vs. i219 - Do they both support VLAN Tagging?

[EVear]

I am planning on getting a Asrock Rack E3C236D2I server motherboard, and the two on-board gigabit NIC's it has are the Intel i210 and the intel i219.

Just want to check both the i210 and the i219 both support VLAN tagging. Planning on using Windows Server 2016 essentials.

Also what is the difference between the i210 and the i219 Chipsets?

Regards: Elliott.

Hi Elliot,

Thank you for posting in Wired Ethernet Communities.Both i210 and i219 should support VLAN tagging as option to set VLAN ID is available in the advanced properties in Windows 2016. However these controllers are integrated by Asrock so it's best to confirm with them the capability. Further checking shows that Windows 2016 is not part of the supported OS of your board. Please check out the link below, kindly take note Intel has no control over the content of this website. http://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=E3C236D2I# SpecificationsThe main difference between i210 and i219 is i210 supports 802.1Qav Audio-Video Bridging (AVB).Sharing the links to their product brief documentation.i210 http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/embedded/products/networking/i210-ethernet-controller-family-brief.htmli219 http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/embedded/products/networking/ethernet-connection-i219-family-product-brief.htmlHope this helps.regards,Vince
