Control Panel : Network Settings : TCP/IP Settings Page : Create Teaming
Prior to configuring network teaming, please make sure to connect both NICs to the same
subnet.
The following teaming modes are supported:
•
Balanced Round Robin
•
Dynamic Link Aggregation (802.3ad) – requires configuration of switch
•
Balance TLB (Transmit Load Balance)
Note:
Whether you choose NIC-1 or NIC-2 as the primary NIC, the IP address of the network
team will be that previously assigned to NIC-1.
Control Panel : Network Settings : TCP/IP Settings Page : Create Teaming : Balance Round Robin
This option transmits packets in sequential order from the first available slave-NIC in the
team through the last. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.
Control Panel : Network Settings : TCP/IP Settings Page : Create Teaming : Dynamic Link
Aggregation (IEEE 802.3 AD)
Creates aggregation groups that share the same speed and duplex settings. Requires a
switch that supports IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation.
Control Panel : Network Settings : TCP/IP Settings Page : Create Teaming : Balance TLB
Adaptive transmit load balancing: channel bonding that does not require any special
switch support. The outgoing traffic is distributed according to the current load
(computed relative to the speed) on each slave-NIC in the team.
