Can I connect the teamed adapters to a hub? | Teamed ports can be connected to a hub for |
|
| |
| troubleshooting purposes only. However, this |
|
| |
| practice is not recommended for normal |
|
| |
| operation because the performance would be |
|
| |
| degraded due to hub limitations. Connect the |
|
| |
| teamed ports to a switch instead. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
Can I connect the teamed adapters to ports in a | No. All ports in a team must be on the same |
|
| |
router? | network; in a router, however, each port is a |
|
| |
| separate network by definition. All teaming |
|
| |
| modes require that the link partner be a Layer 2 |
|
| |
| switch. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
Can I use teaming with Microsoft Cluster | Yes. Teaming is supported on the public |
|
| |
Services? | network only, not on the private network used |
|
| |
| for the heartbeat link. |

Can PXE work over a virtual adapter (team)? | A PXE client operates in an environment before |
|
| |
| the operating system is loaded; as a result, |
|
| |
| virtual adapters have not been enabled yet. If |
|
| |
| the physical adapter supports PXE, then it can |
|
| |
| be used as a PXE client, whether or not it is part |
|
| |
| of a virtual adapter when the operating system |
|
| |
| loads. PXE servers may operate over a virtual |
|
| |
| adapter. |

What is the maximum number of ports that can | Up to eight ports can be assigned to a team. |
|

What is the maximum number of teams that can | Up to four teams can be configured on the same |

Why does my team loose connectivity for the | Answer: Because Spanning Tree Protocol is |
|
| |
first 30 to 50 seconds after the Primary adapter | bringing the port from blocking to forwarding. |
|
| |
is restored (fallback)? | You must enable Port Fast or Edge Port on the |
|
| |
| switch ports connected to the team or use |
|
| |
| LiveLink to account for the STP delay. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
Can I connect a team across multiple switches? | Smart Load Balancing can be used with |
|
| |
| multiple switches because each physical adapter |
|
| |
| in the system uses a unique Ethernet MAC |
|
| |
| address. Link Aggregation and Generic |
|
| |
| Trunking cannot operate across switches |
|
| |
| because they require all physical adapters to |
|
| |
| share the same Ethernet MAC address. |
