Static Link Aggregation (SLA)
This feature provides increased transmission and reception throughput in a team of two to eight
adapters. This team replaces these types of teams from prior releases: Fast EtherChannel/Link
Aggregation (FEC) and Gigabit EtherChannel/Link Aggregation (GEC). This type also includes adapter
fault tolerance and load balancing (only routed protocols). This teaming type requires a switch with Intel
Link Aggregation, Cisco FEC or GEC, or IEEE 802.3ad Static Link Aggregation capability.
All adapters in a Link Aggregation team running in static mode must run at the same speed and must be
connected to a Static Link Aggregation capable switch. If the speed capability of adapters in a Static Link
Aggregation team are different, the speed of the team depends on the lowest common denominator.
IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic Link Aggregation
This feature creates one or more teams using Dynamic Link Aggregation with mixed ‐ speed adapters.
Like the Static Link Aggregation teams, 802.3ad Dynamic teams increase transmission and reception
throughput and provide fault tolerance. This teaming type requires a switch that fully supports the IEEE
802.3ad standard.
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Support
The VLANs tab lets you configure Virtual LANs (VLANs) for an adapter. After creating the VLAN, the
adapter associated with the VLAN may have a momentary loss of connectivity. A VLAN cannot be
removed if a virtual NIC is bound to it. The VLANs tab includes:
Name column: Displays the name assigned to the VLAN.
ID Column: Displays the VLAN's ID.
Status Column: Indicates if the VLAN is Enabled or Disabled.
New : Creates a new VLAN.
Remove : Removes the selected VLAN.
Modify : Changes a VLAN's settings.
If VLANs are assigned to an adapter, the Priority & VLANs option will be enabled and cannot be disabled
until all VLANs are removed from the adapter.

To set up IEEE VLAN membership, the adapter must be attached to a switch with IEEE 802.1Q VLAN
capability.

A maximum of 64 VLANs per network or team are supported by Intel software.

VLANs can co ‐ exist with teaming. If you do this, the team must be defined first, and then you can set
up your VLAN.

You can set up only one untagged VLAN per adapter or team. You must have at least one tagged
VLAN before you can set up an untagged VLAN.

When using IEEE 802.1Q VLANs, settings must match between the switch and those adapters using
the VLANs.

In Microsoft Windows, you must use Intel PROSet to set up and configure VLANs.

Caution : VLANS cannot be used on teams that contain non ‐ Intel network adapters.

Caution : Use Intel PROSet to add or remove a VLAN. Do not use the Network and Dial ‐ up
Connections box to enable or disable a VLAN. Otherwise, the VLAN driver may not be correctly
enabled or disabled.

The VLAN keyword is supported. The VLAN ID must match the VLAN ID configured on the switch.

If you change a setting under the Advanced tab for one VLAN, it changes the settings for all VLANs
using that port.
