Can I configure NLB and teaming
concurrently?
Should both the backup server and client
servers that are backed up be teamed?
Is there any special configuration required in
the tape backup software or hardware to work
with adapter teaming?
How do I know what driver I am currently
using?
Can SLB detect a switch failure in a Switch
Fault Tolerance configuration?
Why does my team lose connectivity for the
first 30 to 50 seconds after the primary adapter
is restored (fall-back after a failover)?
Where do I monitor real time statistics for an
adapter team in a Windows server?

Question Answer
Yes, but only when running NLB in a multicast
mode (NLB is not supported with MS Cluster
Services).
Because the backup server is under the most
data load, it should always be teamed for link
aggregation and failover. A fully redundant
network, however, requires that both the
switches and the backup clients be teamed for
fault tolerance and link aggregation.
No special configuration is required in the tape
software to work with teaming. Teaming is
transparent to tape backup applications.
In all operating systems, the most accurate
method for checking the driver revision is to
physically locate the driver file and check the
properties.
No. SLB can only detect the loss of link
between the teamed port and its immediate link
partner. SLB cannot detect link failures on other
ports.
During a fall-back event, link is restored
causing Spanning Tree Protocol to configure the
port for blocking until it determines that it can
move to the forwarding state. You must enable
Port Fast or Edge Port on the switch ports
connected to the team to prevent the loss of
communications caused by STP.

and custom counters.
