2.11 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 efective 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 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.
