The following graphics provide an example of a Windows 2003 server with TWO NICs teamed and
connected to the network. One NIC will be active while the other is in standby. In the event of an Uplink
or switch failure, VC will fail-over to the standby uplinks. IF VC were to fail, the NIC teaming software
would fail-over to the standby NIC.
