In the article, you recommend setting the 'VLAN Enable Parameter' to 'off'.

Can you clarify the official position on the use of this parameter: is 
setting it to 'on' supported, or not?

That is, if we do want to set up our BMCs to use tagged VLAN's, can we 
expect things to work okay, or not?

Thanks
