Configuring Ethernet PCI Adapters

•“Updating a Team’s Ethernet Address” on page 2-32
•“Removing an Ethernet Team” on page2-34
NOTES
1. Anytime you modify an existing team, you might
temporarily interrupt the flow of network traffic to the
team.
2. When you add or remove Ethernet PCI adapters in an
existing Static Link Aggregation team, the link to the
adapters you are adding or removing must be down;
otherwise, the switch forwards traffic to the adapters
before the configuration is complete.
3. When you remove or replace a teamed adapter, you
might need to reset the Ethernet (MAC) address of
the team as described in “Updating a Team’s Ethernet
Address” on page 2-32. In addition, your network
administrator must update any network filtering or
security settings that might be based on the MAC
address of the Ethernet adapter you removed.
Removing Ethernet PCI Adapters from a Team
NOTE
Remove Ethernet PCI adapters from only one team at a
time. Complete the procedure before removing an adapter
from another team.
1. Start the PROSet utility if you have not already done so (see “Starting PROSet” on
page 2-7).
2. In the left pane of the Intel(R) PROSet for Wired Connections dialog box, expand
the team and Member Adapters.
3. To remove an Ethernet PCI adapter from the team, right-click the adapter and click
Remove from Team (Figure2-15).
NOTE
If you select Remove Adapter by mistake when you
meant Remove from Team, click Cancel to cancel the
changes and to close PROSet, then restart PROSet and
start the procedure again. If you apply the changes, use
Scan for Hardware Changes in Device Manager to
reinstate the adapter.
