4If a team has no NICs assigned, you will be prompted to add a NIC or delete the team.
Click OK. When team has been correctly configured, one Virtual Team NIC driver will be created for each configured team and will appear along with the other NICs in the Local Area Connection Properties window. Click OK.
5Configure the team IP address if necessary. Configure the IP address and any other necessary TCP/IP configuration for the team. Click OK when finished. If you are unsure as to how to configure the TCP/IP properties, consult your Microsoft documentation.
Removing a NIC from a Team
1To remove an NIC from its assigned team, select the NIC in the Team Members list and then click the double left arrow. Click OK.
2In the Local Area Connection Properties window, click OK.
The NIC will be removed from the team list and will reappear in the Unassigned NICs list.
Deleting a Team
1To delete a configured failover team and release its assigned NICs, select any NIC in the team list, and then click Delete Team. Click OK.
2In the Local Area Connection Properties window click OK.
The team and all its assigned NICs will be removed from the team list. The released NICs will reappear in the Unassigned NICs list.
NOTE: NICs that are part of a team inherit all the basic configuration properties of the team, including VLANs associated with the team. If you delete a team, any VLANs configured for that team will also be deleted.
Configuring VLANs
VLAN Configuration is optional. Before configuring VLANs, see “VLANs Overview” on page 102.
NOTE: NICs that are members of a team can also be configured to support VLANs; however, VLANs cannot be configured with foreign NICs.
When configuring VLANs for team NICs, note that any NIC or LOM that is a member of a team inherits the configuration of the primary NIC. When a NIC or LOM is removed from the team, however, its original configuration parameters are used.
By default, Ethernet NICs are configured with VLAN support disabled. Up to 64 VLANs can be defined for each team on your server. Configuring VLANs consists of the following tasks:
■Accessing the VLAN configuration interface.
■Adding VLAN(s) to the team(s). This includes assigning a unique identifier and name to each new VLAN.
Each of these tasks is described below, along with procedures describing how to delete VLANs or modify the properties of a configured VLAN.
