Introduction to Duralink64 Port Aggregation In this Chapter Traditional Network Configurations Servers with Duralink64 Port Aggregation This chapter compares traditional Ethernet configurations to Ethernet servers using Duralink64 Port Aggregation. These examples show the impact Duralink64 Port Aggregation has on network performance and hardware investment.
Page 30: Traditional Network Configurations
DuraLAN Fast Ethernet NICs User’s Guide Traditional Network Configurations The following three examples show some typical configuration methods. The figure below illustrates a single segment server initialized at 100 Mbps with Full Duplex Ethernet (FDE). In this example, the segmented server is limited to 200 Mbps. In addition, if the connection to the server fails, the network may go down.
Page 31 Introduction to Duralink64 Port Aggregation The next traditional method provides network Fault Tolerance through doubling the hardware and addition of a special version of NetWare (SFT3). Data is kept current between servers via a Mirrored Server Link (MSL). In the illustration below, one server is active while the other is ready to take over all duties if the other fails.

Page 168: Connection Types
NIC is being configured on. Autodetect Default Connection Detects the cable type, optimal line speed, and duplexity for the specific Adaptec PCI NIC model in use. This is the default and recommended connection type. 10 Mbps UTP/Half Duplex Forces the connection to 10 Mbps in Half Duplex mode.
Page 169: Cable Requirements
Cable Requirements Cable requirements for Adaptec DuraLAN NICs vary according to network speed, cabling standard, and the connector to be used. The table below identifies appropriate cabling, based on these variables. The table applies to both Half Duplex and Full Duplex (for selected models) environments.
Page 170: Straight-Through Cable
DuraLAN Fast Ethernet NICs User’s Guide Straight-through Cable The majority of twisted-pair environments use twisted-pair cables that are wired straight-through. This means that each pin of the modular plug connector is wired to the same pin on the opposite end of the cable (i.e., pin 1 is wired to pin 1). Straight-through cables connect workstations and servers to repeaters and switches.
