About Teaming
NOTE: To set up teams and VLANS in Windows using the sfteam command line tool,
see Sfteam: Adapter Teaming and VLAN Tool on page 200 .
Solarflare adapters support the following teaming configurations:
• IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation
• Static link aggregation
• Fault tolerant teams
Teaming allows the user to configure teams consisting of all Solarflare adapter ports
on all installed Solarflare adapters or might consist of only selected adapter ports
e.g. from a dual port Solarflare adapter, the first port could be a member of team A
and the second port a member of team B or both ports members of the same team.
This section is only relevant to teams of Solarflare adapters. Solarflare adapters can
be used in multi ‐ vendor teams when teamed using the other vendor’s teaming
driver.
CAUTION: Windows Server 2012 introduced native support for teaming. Windows
teaming and Solarflare teaming configuration should not be mixed in the same
server.
Enabled (without VLAN filtering) VMQ uses only the destination MAC address
for filtering traffic to the intended Hyper ‐ V
virtual machine.
Disabled VMQ is disabled.
