Teaming and Other Advanced Networking
Properties
Before creating a team, adding or removing team members, or changing advanced settings of a team
member, make sure each team member has been configured in a similar way. Settings to check
include VLANs and QoS Packet Tagging, Jumbo Frames, and the various offloads. Advanced adapter
properties and teaming support are listed below.
• Advanced Adapter Properties and Teaming Support
A team does not necessarily inherit adapter properties. Instead, various properties depend on the
specific capability. For instance, an example would be flow control, which is a physical adapter
property and has nothing to do with BASP, and will be enabled on a particular adapter if the miniport
driver for that adapter has flow control enabled.
`
All adapters on the team must support the property listed in "• Advanced Adapter Properties
and Teaming Support" (
J
pg.138) in order for the team to support the property.
