Adapter Fault Tolerance Mode

Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT) is a simple, effective, and fail-safe approach to increase
the reliability of server connections. AFT gives you the ability to set up link recovery to
the server adapter in the event of a cable, port, or network interface card failure. By
assigning two single-port CP340 adapters or one twin-port CP341 adapter as a team,
AFT enables you to maintain uninterrupted network performance.
AFT is implemented with two Ethernet adapters: a primary adapter and a backup, or
secondary, adapter. During normal operation, the backup will have transmit disabled. If
the link to the primary adapter fails, the link to the backup adapter automatically takes
over.
