Problem: Team configuration is not retained when you edit it.

Solution: In configuring BASP team configuration, the actual changes of the configuration are not committed until you click "OK" in the "Network Properties" window. If you do not click "OK" and, instead, return to the BASP team configuration window, all the previous uncommitted changes are lost. This requires you to reenter the configuration. As a workaround, always click "OK" in the "Network Properties" window after making changes.

Problem: IP address is configurable on a member of the team.

Solution: When a team is created, the TCP/IP properties for the adapters are unselected. You can select and configure the TCP/IP properties of the adapters and configure an IP address manually. This issue is a limitation of the Windows 2000 network installation paradigm where this invalid configuration is still allowed.

Problem: When creating 64 VLANs, all virtual adapters are displayed as disconnected or one of the 64 VLANs is displayed as disabled.

Solution: The maximum VLAN configurations are 63 tagged and one untagged VLAN ID 0. If 64 tagged VLANs are created, they are disconnected. A reboot is required and only the 63 tagged VLANs show links, while the 64th VLAN is disabled.

Linux-BASPThis section lists known problems and solutions using Linux-BASP.

Problem: When obtaining the IP for a SLB's virtual interface via DHCP, the IP-gets lost under heavy traffic.

Solution: Always set a static IP for all the virtual interfaces in a SLB team.

Problem: Make install fails on Turbo Linux 7.0 IA64.

Solution: The symbolic link under /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/build points to an empty directory. To successfully install BASP using `make install`, re-link /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/build to point to /usr/src/ <kernel-version>/.
