Configuring Teaming in
Windows Server
Load Balancing and Fault Tolerance
QLASP Overview
QLASP is the QLogic teaming software for the Windows family of operating
systems. QLASP settings are configured by QCC GUI.
QLASP provides heterogeneous support for adapter teaming to include QLogic
8400/3400 Series adapters and QLogic-shipping Intel NIC adapters/LOMs.
QLASP supports four types of teams for Layer 2 teaming:
Smart Load Balancing and Failover with Auto-Fallback Enabled (SLB)
Link Aggregation (802.3ad)
Generic Trunking (FEC/GEC)/802.3ad-Draft Static
SLB (with Auto-Fallback Disable)
For more information on network adapter teaming concepts, see
NOTE
This chapter describes teaming for adapters in Windows Server systems.
For more information on a similar technology on Linux operating systems
(called “Channel Bonding”), refer to your operating system documentation.
NOTE
Windows Server 2012 and later provide built-in teaming support, called NIC
Teaming. It is not recommended that users enable teams through NIC
Teaming and QLASP at the same time on the same adapters.
