5.1.1.5 Example of setting method of Link Aggregation
1. Intel NIC driver installation
In Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 OS, when a NIC is installed and the PC is started, the default driver
supported by the Microsoft OS may be automatically installed. The Microsoft driver does not have
the “Teaming” function needed for the GigE Vision Link Aggregate Method (LAG). Therefore, in
order to make the “Teaming” function available, it is necessary to install the Intel NIC driver. Please
note that if Intel ceases support for this driver, “Teaming” may not be available on the latest OS.
The following describes the procedure to install the Intel NIC driver.
Navigate to the Intel web site and open the Drivers & Software page. Select the appropriate items
from the drop-down selection lists.
In this example, select Network Connectivity, Intel Server Adapters, Intel PRO1000 PT Dual Port
Server Adapter and Drivers & Software. Then click the “Find” button.
