Adding and configuring NICs in a team

Before a NIC is teamed, verify the following:
• The NICs must be on the same network.
• The NICs must be DHCP enabled and the DNS server address must be left blank.
NOTE:
The teaming utility becomes unstable if static IP addresses, subnets, and DNS addresses are set
before teaming.
• Duplex and speed settings must be set to use the default values.
To team the NICs:
1. Open the HP Network Teaming utility.
The Network Teaming and Configuration Properties dialog box is displayed. The type
of NIC and the slot and port used is shown.
