4.3.7 Selecting a Team Type
The following flow chart provides the decision flow when planning for Layer 2 teaming. The primary
rationale for teaming is the need for additional network bandwidth and fault tolerance. Teaming
offers link aggregation and fault tolerance to meet both of these requirements. Preference teaming
should be selected in the following order: IEEE 802.3ad as the first choice, Generic Trunking as the
second choice, and SLB teaming as the third choice when using unmanaged switches or switches that
do not support the first two options. if switch fault tolerance is a requirement, however, then SLB is
the only choice (refer to "• Process for Selecting a Team Type" ( pg.129)).
