User Guide
Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB) is a feature that creates a group containing more than
one adapter and enhances the throughput by operating packet transmission from the
server by all the adapters.
■
AFT/ALB setup must be operated after installing the drivers
and restarting the system.
■
All the adapters specified as a group of Adapter Teaming
must exist on the same LAN. If they are connected to sepa-
rate switches, they will not work normally.

The adapters specified as a group of Adaptive Load Balanc-
