Creating a Team Using the Wizard
Advanced Control Suite User’s Guide
Link Aggregation. In this type of team, you can dynamically configure the network adapters that have been selected to participate in a given team. If the link partner is not correctly configured for IEEE 802.3ad link configuration, errors are detected and noted. All adapters in the team are configured to receive packets for the same MAC address. The outbound load balancing scheme is determined by the BASP driver. The team’s link partner determines the load balancing scheme for inbound packets. In this mode, at least one of the link partners must be in active mode.
Generic Trunking. This type of team is very similar to the Link Aggregation type in that all of the adapters in the team need to be configured to receive packets for the same MAC address. However, this mode, does not provide Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) or marker protocol support. This mode supports a variety of environments where the link partners are statically configured to support a proprietary trunking mechanism. Generic trunking supports load balancing and failover for both outbound and inbound traffic.
