Network Interfaces

Network Interfaces enables you to configure the physical network interfaces to suit your
environment.
To configure an interface:
1. Select the Configure check box for the interface that you want to configure. If you clear the
check box, the interface is excluded from all configurations and is not modified.
2. Enter the new interface name. The new name that you enter must not contain special
characters, such as \ /*? < >| and ".
3. Click Next to proceed to the Network Team Configuration step.
The physical network interfaces that are part of a team or used for RDP cannot be configured.
For such interfaces, the Configure check box is disabled.

Network Team Configuration

Network adapter teaming is software-based technology used to increase a server's network
availability and performance. Teaming enables the logical grouping of physical adapters in the
same server (regardless of whether they are embedded devices or Peripheral Component
Interconnect (PCI) adapters) into a virtual adapter. This virtual adapter is seen by the network
and server-resident network-aware applications as a single network connection. For more
information on Microsoft's implementation of Network Teaming, go to https://
technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831648.aspx.
Network Team Configuration enables you to configure new teams. Teaming is used to increase
available bandwidth, load balancing, and improving fault tolerance. The maximum number of
teams that you can create is equal to the number of physical network interfaces on the system.
On clustered systems, the number of teams created on the local node is same as the number
of teams created on the remote node. Team creation on the remote node is automatic.
NOTE:
It is optional to configure a network team. If you do not want to create network teams, click
Next to proceed to the Network VLAN configuration step. The Do not configure network
teams now option is selected by default.
The Network Team Configuration (optional) window is displayed only if there are no
pre-existing teams.
To create network teams if there are no existing teams:
1. Select Configure network teams now and enter the number of teams you want to create
in Number of teams
2. Click Next to proceed to the Network VLAN configuration step.
To create network teams in the case of existing teams:
1. Select the physical network interfaces on the Network Interfaces window and click Next.
2. Select the Create check box and do the following:
1. Enter the team name.
2. Select the team type from Type. The default selection is Switch Independent/Dynamic.
