Both NICs enabled, teamed, configured in Transmit
Load Balancing (TLB) mode
•
The two NICs act together to handle traffic
for both IP addresses; one NIC receives
inbound traffic, both NICs send outbound
traffic.
•
If either NIC fails, the other NIC can take
over.
•
We strongly recommend this configuration if
the Web Conferencing server is connected to
a 100 MB/sec. network.
•
This configuration is available only for HP
MCS server models.
•
To configure this option, perform the
“To
Configure NIC Teaming on the Cisco MCS
Server (HP Models Only)” procedure on
page 2-8
Both NICs enabled, teamed, configured in Network
Fault Tolerance (NFT) mode
•
One NIC is active, handling traffic for both IP
