C
Choose the “Team with other adapters” option and then click
New Team... to start the New Team Wizard. The first dialog
lets you name the Team (you may want to call it something
like “Virtual Dual-receive”).
D
Click Next and add another adapter/port that supports
teaming (for example the second port on a dual-port IntelPro
card).
E
Click Next and choose Static Link Aggregation. This option
works best for aggregating both sides of a full duplex link for
analysis. Click Next, and then Finish. The My Network Places
display should now list the new virtual adapter.
How do I connect my failover devices?
When the device connected to Link B fails, the TAP disables Link A
so that the device on Link A can initiate its failover procedure. The
TAP then restarts its search phase. Until the Link B device is working
again, the TAP repeats the following steps:
A
Search.
B
Determine if Link A is up. If not, keep searching.
C
If Link B is up, then re-establish the connection. If Link B is
still down, then shut down Link A.
D
Go to Step A.
