change Load Balancing/RSL groups. The NICs in a group
work together to route traffic efficiently and to recover
from failures.
■
In the VLANs window, you can set up virtual LANs. All
groups listed on the Load Balance/RSL window also
appear as groups in the VLAN window. Any ungrouped
NICs in the Load Balance/RSL window are also listed in
the VLAN window.
