NIC Teaming
Teaming combines two or more interfaces and provides advantages such as
increased bandwidthand load balancing.
NIC teaming modes support failover between ports and multiple adapters for high
availability server requirements. Link aggregation provides increased bandwidth
via throughput aggregation between two ports. Load balancing allows distribution
of traffic across ports.
QLogic 8100 Series Adapters support a maximum of 16 teams per server. The
maximum number of teamed adapter ports per server is 256.
