2.10 Dual LAN and Teaming Operation Guide
Dual LAN with Teaming enabled on this motherboard allows two single connections to act
as one single connection for twice the transmission bandwidth, making data transmission
more effective and improving the quality of transmission of distant images. Fault tolerance
on the dual 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 traffic.
The Secondary adapter will receive fallback traffic 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 software 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. The adapter will, however, rejoin the team as a non-
primary.
The speed of transmission is subject to the actual network environment or status even with
Teaming enabled.
