Product Overview
Servers with Duralink64 Port Aggregation
A server with Duralink64 Port Aggregation can use up to 12
Adaptec PCI Fast Ethernet ports in one aggregated group (at 1.2
Gigabits/sec per group).
If a contributing member of an aggregated group fails, that
member is excluded from the group. The remaining ports
distribute the existing load.
The following figure shows a 12-port server using three Adaptec
DuraLAN 4-port NICs. In this configuration, the server has a
cumulative bandwidth of 1.2 Gigabits/sec on a single virtual
segment. Further, the network is fault tolerant; data transmission is
uninterrupted if any port fails.
