*The maximum number of team members is 8.

*When team configuration has been correctly performed, a virtual team adapter driver is created for each configured team.

* If you disable a virtual team and later want to reenable it, you must first disable and reenable all team members before you reenable the virtual team.

*When you create Generic Trunking and Link Aggregation teams, you cannot designate a standby member. Standby members work only with Smart Load

Balancing and Failover and SLB (Auto-Fallback Disable) types of teams.

* For an SLB (Auto-Fallback Disable) team, to restore traffic to the load balance members from the standby member, click the Fallback button on the Team Properties tab.

*When configuring an SLB team, although connecting team members to a hub is supported for testing, it is recommended to connect team members to a switch.
