4.7Teaming and Other Advanced Networking Properties
Before creating a team, adding or removing team members, or changing advanced settings of a team member, make sure each team member has been configured in a similar way. Settings to check include VLANs and QoS Packet Tagging, Jumbo Frames, and the various offloads. Advanced adapter properties and teaming support are listed below.

*2: Must be supported by all adapters in the team.

*4: As a PXE server only, not as a client.
A team does not necessarily inherit adapter properties. Instead, 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.
`All adapters on the team must support the property listed in "• Advanced Adapter Properties and Teaming Support" (Jpg.138) in order for the team to support the property.
