Definition
Enables or disables load balancing or fail-
over protection. This selection appears
only with the LBFO adapter card driver.
Available settings are:
Disabled - Disables load balancing and
fail-over protection on the adapter. This is
the default setting.
Enabled - Mode 1 - Activates the mode 1
load balancing feature, where both
adapters in the team share the same
MAC address.
Enabled - Mode 2 - Activates the mode 2
load balancing feature, where both
adapters in the team use different MAC
addresses.
Failover Only - Activates fail-over
protection, where one adapter in the team
functions as the primary adapter and the
other acts as a redundant link should the
primary link fail.
You can select only one setting. For
background information on these
features, refer to "Load Balancing and
Fail-over Protection" on page 39 and
"Choosing a Network Adapter Card
Driver" on page 58.
