If you set the port to standby, you can lose Intel AMT functionality. Teaming features Teaming features include failover protection, increased bandwidth throughput aggregation, and balancing of traffic among team members. Designed to guarantee server availability to the network. Link Aggregation Combines multiple adapters into a single channel to provide greater bandwidth.
Bandwidth increase is only available when connecting to multiple destination addresses. Load Balancing The distribution of the transmission and reception load among aggregated network adapters. An intelligent adaptive agent in the Intel ANS driver repeatedly analyzes the traffic flow from the server and distributes the packets based on destination addresses.
In IEEE Non-routed protocols are transmitted only over the primary adapter. A 'failed' primary adapter passes its MAC and Layer 3 address to the failover secondary adapter. It provides a fault tolerant network connection if the first adapter, its cabling, or the switch fails. Only two adapters can be assigned to an SFT team. Note Don't put clients on the SFT team link partner switches. They don't pass traffic to the partner switch at fail. Turn off STP on the incoming ports of the switches directly connected to the adapters in the team, or configure ports for PortFast.
Only In our case these are two Mbps Ethernet adapters. Figure 3. The Standby Adapter option will be available when more than two network adapters are available for teaming. Optionally we can give the new NIC Team a unique name or leave it as is. Figure 4. Notice how the State of each network adapter is reported as Active — this indicates the adapter is correctly functioning as a member of the NIC Team. Figure 5. As we can see below, Windows Server has created a Mbps network adapter named Team-1 :.
Figure 6. We should note that the MAC address used by the virtual adapter will usually be the MAC address from either physical network adapters. Depending on the type of NIC Teaming selected, the switch attached to the server might need to be configured. More Information on Cisco Switches and configuration articles can be found in our dedicated Cisco Switches section.
Create the Etherchannel interface by dedicating an equal number of switch ports to that of the physical network adapters participating in the NIC Teaming. Configure both switch ports to be part of Channel-Group 1 and set it to active mode. The Port-Channel interface will be configured in Trunk mode for our example:. Note: First create the Port-Channel interface and assign the physical interfaces to it using the channel-group 1 mode active command.
In case VLAN Trunking support is required, do not forget to use the switchport mode trunk command to enable trunking and then switchport trunk native vlan X to configure the native VLAN for the EtherChannel, replacing X with the necessary vlan number. Therefore, it is not possible for the NIC team to inspect or redirect the data to another path in the team. Native host Quality of Service QoS. When you set QoS policies on a native or host system, and those policies invoke minimum bandwidth limitations, the overall throughput for a NIC team is less than it would be without the bandwidth policies in place.
TCP Chimney. You should not use Depending on the switch configuration mode and the load distribution algorithm, NIC teaming presents either the smallest number of available and supported queues by any adapter in the team Min-Queues mode or the total number of queues available across all team members Sum-of-Queues mode.
If the team is in Switch-Independent teaming mode and you set the load distribution to Hyper-V Port mode or Dynamic mode, the number of queues reported is the sum of all the queues available from the team members Sum-of-Queues mode.
Otherwise, the number of queues reported is the smallest number of queues supported by any member of the team Min-Queues mode. When the switch-independent team is in Hyper-V Port mode or Dynamic mode the inbound traffic for a Hyper-V switch port VM always arrives on the same team member. When the team is in any switch dependent mode static teaming or LACP teaming , the switch that the team is connected to controls the inbound traffic distribution. The host's NIC Teaming software can't predict which team member gets the inbound traffic for a VM and it may be that the switch distributes the traffic for a VM across all team members.
When the team is in switch-independent mode and uses address hash load balancing, the inbound traffic always comes in on one NIC the primary team member - all of it on just one team member. Since other team members aren't dealing with inbound traffic, they get programmed with the same queues as the primary member so that if the primary member fails, any other team member can be used to pick up the inbound traffic, and the queues are already in place.
Following are a few VMQ settings that provide better system performance. The first physical processor, Core 0 logical processors 0 and 1 , typically does most of the system processing so the network processing should steer away from this physical processor. The switch has complete independence to determine how to distribute the network traffic across the NIC Team members. Switch dependent teaming requires that all team members are connected to the same physical switch or a multi-chassis switch that shares a switch ID among the multiple chassis.
Static Teaming. Static Teaming requires you to manually configure both the switch and the host to identify which links form the team. Because this is a statically configured solution, there is no additional protocol to assist the switch and the host to identify incorrectly plugged cables or other errors that could cause the team to fail to perform.
This mode is typically supported by server-class switches. This dynamic connection enables the automatic creation of a team and, in theory but rarely in practice, the expansion and reduction of a team simply by the transmission or receipt of LACP packets from the peer entity. No option is presently available to modify the timer or change the LACP mode.
When you use Switch Dependent modes with Dynamic distribution, the network traffic load is distributed based on the TransportPorts address hash as modified by the Dynamic load balancing algorithm. The Dynamic load balancing algorithm redistributes flows to optimize team member bandwidth utilization. Individual flow transmissions can move from one active team member to another as part of the dynamic distribution. As with all switch dependent configurations, the switch determines how to distribute the inbound traffic among the team members.
The switch is expected to do a reasonable job of distributing the traffic across the team members but it has complete independence to determine how it does so.
