Team configuration properties that are configured on the target server include: 

 

TeamName

—Determines the unique identifier for the adapter team. Each team name on

system must be unique. 

 

OpMode

—Determines the operating mode of the team. Possible values are Auto, DynamicSingleSlb

StaticSingleSlb, TransmitLoadBalancing, TLBwithPref, FailOnFault, PrefPrimary 

LoadBalAlgorithm

—Determines the team load balancing algorithm. Possible values are 

MACAddress, IPAddress, TCPConnection, RoundRobin, and Auto. 

TeamNetworkAddress

—Establishes the MAC addres

written to the XML data file because locally administered addresses must be unique. A null val

adapters. Possible values are Enabled or Disabled. 

TxPathValidationInterval

—Determines how frequently the packet signals are transmitted. The range 

of ac

to 60. 

RxPathValidationInterval

—Determines how frequently the packet signals are received. The range of 

acceptable values is 3 to 60. Values less than 3 are set to 3, and values greater than 60 are set to 

60. 

 

RxPathValidationVlanId

—Determines the VLAN on which Receive Path Validation packet fram

transmitted. This value is only written when a VLAN is defined for the team. The default is the VL
on the team with the lowest VLAN ID at the time the team is created. 

DefaultVlanId

—Determines the VLAN ID used for any un-tagged packets received by the team. This 

property only applies to teams that have VLANs defined. 

TOEEnabled

—Enables the offloading of TCP connections to the Multifunction Server Adapter. 

Microsoft Scalable Networking Pack (SNP) is required when enabling TOE and is included on 

systems running Windows Server 2003 (SP2) or Windows Server 2003 x64 (SP2). SNP also is 

supported, but not included, on systems running Windows Server 2003 (SP1) and Windows Server 

2003 x64 (SP1). To enable TOE adapter functionality on a system running Windows Server 2003
(SP1) or Windows Server 2003 x64 (SP1), you must download SNP and required Microsoft hotfixe

and install them on the system. See the Microsoft (
