2.11 Dual/Quad LAN and Teaming Operation Guide
Dual/Quad LAN with Teaming enabled on this motherboard allows two/four
single connections to act as one/two single connection(s) for twice/quadruple the
transmission bandwidth, making data transmission more efective and improving
the quality of transmission of distant images. Fault tolerance on the dual/quad LAN
network prevents network downtime by transferring the workload from a failed
port to a working port.
Before setting up Teaming, please make sure whether your Switch (or Router)
supports Teaming (IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation). You can specify a preferred
adapter in Intel PROSet. Under normal conditions, the Primary adapter handles all
non-TCP/IP traic. he Secondary adapter will receive fallback traic if the primary
fails. If the Preferred Primary adapter fails, but is later restored to an active status,
control is automatically switched back to the Preferred Primary adapter.
Step 1
From Device Manager , open the properties of a team.
Step 2
Click the Settings tab.
Step 3
Click the Modify Team button.
Step 4
Select the adapter you want to be the primary adapter and click the Set Primary
button.
If you do not specify a preferred primary adapter, the sotware will choose an
adapter of the highest capability (model and speed) to act as the default primary. If
a failover occurs, another adapter becomes the primary. he adapter will, however,
rejoin the team as a non-primary.
he speed of transmission is subject to the actual network environment or status even with
Teaming enabled.
