Shared with Failover LOM2 — Select this option to share the network interface with the host operating system. The remote access device network interface is fully functional when the host operating system is configured for NIC teaming. The remote access device receives data through NIC 1 and NIC 2, but transmits data only through NIC 1. If NIC 1 fails, the remote access device fails over to NIC 2 for all data transmission.

The remote access device continues to use NIC 2 for data transmission. If NIC 2 fails, the remote access device fails over all data transmission back to NIC 1 if the failure in NIC1 has been corrected.

The remote access device network interface is fully functional when the host operating system is configured for NIC teaming. The remote access device receives data through NIC 1, NIC 2, NIC 3, and NIC 4; but it transmits data only through NIC 1. If NIC 1 fails, the remote access device fails over all data transmission to NIC 2. If NIC 2 fails, the remote access device fails over all data transmission to NIC 3. If NIC 3 fails, the remote access device fails over all data transmission to NIC 4. If NIC 4 fails the remote access device fails over all data transmission back to NIC 1, but only if the original NIC 1 failure has been corrected.
