Overview
You can group together multiple network adapters in a server to make a team.
Individual adapters that are part of a team operate as a team rather than
standalone adapters. A team provides traffic load balancing across the member
adapters and fault tolerance when some, but not all, of the members lose
connectivity.
To enable teaming functionality, install the teaming driver in addition to the basic NIC.
Team MAC Address
At initialization, the teaming driver selects the team’s MAC address to be the MAC
of one of the teamed adapters. In general, the first adapter to come up is chosen
to be the
preferred primary adapter
. The preferred primary’s MAC address is
assigned to the MAC address of the team. Alternately, you can choose any valid
MAC address as the team’s static MAC address, also called the LAA. Make sure
any provided LAA is unique for the local Ethernet network. This provision gives
the system administrator more flexibility in configuring the MAC address for a
team when necessary.
