All adapters on the team must support this feature. Some adapters may not support this feature if ASF/IPMI is also enabled.
b
Must be supported by all adapters in the team.
c
Only for Broadcom adapters.
d
As a PXE sever only, not as a client.
A team does not necessarily inherit adapter properties; rather various properties depend on the specific capability. For
instance, an example would be flow control, which is a physical adapter property and has nothing to do with BASP, and will
be enabled on a particular adapter if the miniport driver for that adapter has flow control enabled.
NOTE: All adapters on the team must support the property listed in
property.
