Teaming
What It Does
Teaming is the ability to provide load balancing and fail-over between two Ethernet
ports. When this feature is enabled and configured properly, one IP address is
visible on the network, and all networking traffic is distributed between the two
Ethernet ports, depending on the Teaming mode of operation selected, as ex-
plained in the following topics.
Its Modes of Operation
Load Balance and Failover
When load balancing is configured over a collection of Ethernet interfaces, the
collection is commonly known as a
“
team
”
or
“
bundle
”
.
v
Within a team, there is a primary Ethernet interface that has special responsibilities.
For example, it receives all multicast (and broadcast) traffic, and it transmits all
outbound unicast traffic not destined for the subnet to which the team is attached
(this traffic will later be referred to as non-local unicast traffic).
v
The secondary Ethernet interfaces are available for load balancing of traffic to and
from local machines (other machines within the same IP subnet to which the
team is attached).
