Note:
Adding a network adapter to a team where its driver is disabled may negatively affect the
offloading capabilities of the team. This may have an impact on the team’s performance. Therefore, it
is recommended that only driver-enabled network adapters be added as members to a team.
Notes:
• The team name cannot exceed 39 characters, cannot begin with spaces, and cannot contain any
of the following characters: & \ / : * ? < > |
• Team names must be unique. If you attempt to use a team name more than once, an error
message is displayed indicating that the name already exists.
• The maximum number of team members is 8.
• When team configuration has been correctly performed, a virtual team adapter driver is created for
each configured team.
• If you disable a virtual team and later want to reenable it, you must first disable and reenable all
team members before you reenable the virtual team.
• When you create Generic Trunking and Link Aggregation teams, you cannot designate a standby
member. Standby members work only with Smart Load Balancing and Failover and SLB (Auto-
Fallback Disable) types of teams.
• For an SLB (Auto-Fallback Disable) team, to restore traffic to the load balance members from the
standby member, click the Fallback button on the Team Properties tab.
• When configuring an SLB team, although connecting team members to a hub is supported for
testing, it is recommended to connect team members to a switch.
• Not all network adapters made by others are supported or fully certified for teaming.
