Purpose

This article documents how to configure the Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows Recovery Media to use a specific VLAN ID.

Use Case:

You need to access a repository located in a different VLAN than the original machine was using.

Solution

Because the Recovery Media is based on WinPE, which lacks tools to set the VLAN ID via PowerShell or a UI, modifications must be made manually via the registry.

Boot from Recovery Media.
Click the Tools tile.

Click the Command Prompt tile.

Execute the command: regedit

Navigate to the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}

^{This GUID is the system-defined GUID for Network Adapters.}
Within that key will be subkeys (e.g., 0000, 0001) for each NIC. Review each and identify the 000x subkey that belongs to the NIC that needs to have a VLAN ID assigned.

^{If you do not see the NIC, make sure that the NIC driver is installed (Tools > Load Driver).}
Within the NIC's subkey, create a new String Value.

Name the String Value: VlanID
Set the 'Value data' to the VlanID.

Close the Registry Editor.
Return to the Command Prompt and enter the following command to reinitialize the NIC:
_{Tip: Use 'netsh int show int' to list network interface names.}
```
netsh int set int <InterfaceName> disabled
```
```
netsh int set int <InterfaceName> enabled
```
