AT-2973SX, AT-2973T, and AT-2973T/4 NetExtreme II Family Adapters Installation and User’s Guide

Problem: A Generic Trunking (GEC/FEC) 802.3ad-Draft Static type of team may lose some network connectivity if the driver to a team member is disabled.

Solution: If a team member supports underlying management software (ASF/IPMI/UMP) or Wake-On-LAN, the link may be maintained on the switch for the adapter despite its driver being disabled. This may result in the switch continuing to pass traffic to the attached port rather than route the traffic to an active team member port. Disconnecting the disabled adapter from the switch allows traffic to resume to the other active team members.

Problem: Large Send Offload (LSO) and Checksum Offload are not working on my team.

Solution: If one of the adapters on a team does not support LSO, LSO does not function for the team. Remove the adapter that does not support LSO from the team or replace it with one that does. This same solution applies to Checksum Offload.

Problem: The advanced properties of a team do not change after changing the advanced properties of an adapter that is a member of the team.

Solution: If an adapter is included as a member of a team and you change any advanced property, then you must rebuild the team to ensure that the team's advanced properties are properly set.

Problem: Errors occur when an RSS-enabled adapter is included as a member of a team on Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2 systems.

Solution: Disable RSS from all members of the team and rebuild the team.
