Switch Fault Tolerance (SFT)
Switch Fault Tolerance (SFT) is a redundancy function equal to AFT in configuration when LAN ports
are connected to a separate switch. SFT switches the link to be used between LAN ports and switches
that are connected to the LAN ports when a failure occurs.
However, failures in the links outside of the switches, which are indicated with
I
,
↓
or
J
in the figure
below, cannot be detected.
z
Static Link Aggregation
Select this mode when connecting a team to a Cisco FEC/GEC compliant switch or a switch that
supports IEEE802.3ad-Draft Static. Switch settings are also necessary. All ports in the team must be
connected to the same switch.
z
IEEE802.3ad dynamic link aggregation
Select this mode when connecting a team to a switch which supports IEEE802.3ad compliant Link
Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). In this mode, all adapters must run at the same speed, and all
ports in the team must be connected to the same switch.
This mode is only available for Teaming between LAN cards.
Notes
Note the following when you configure a team by using Intel
®
PROSet. For details, refer to Intel
®
PROSet help. However, when there is difference in content between this manual and Intel
®
PROSet
help, follow this manual.
• Once a Team is created, virtual adapters will be created in the system. Do not disable or delete this
virtual adapter from [Device Manager] or [Network Connections]. When deleting a virtual adapter,
make sure to use Intel
®
PROSet. Also, do not disable or delete an actual adapter that configures a
team from [Device Manager] or [Network Connections]. Disable or delete the actual adapter after
deleting it from the team by using Intel
®
PROSet.
• For AFT / ALB / Static link / Dynamic link type, up to four LAN ports can be incorporated into one
team, and two ports for a SFT type team.
• When the Teaming function is being used, only the following protocols can be used:
• For AFT / SFT / Static Link / dynamic link: IP, NetBEUI, IPX (NCP), IPX (NetBIOS)
• For ALB type: IP, IPX (NCP)
• When the Teaming function is being used, Windows Load Balancing Service (WLBS) and Network
Load Balancing (NLB) are not available.
