3. Select GEC/LA/802.1ad:static team type for interfacing the PRO/1000MT using a
1000BaseT physical connection to the Avaya™ P882 Gigabit Ethernet Switch (Figure 34).
Important Notes:
Use the GigabitEtherChannel GEC/Link Aggregation/802.3ad: static LAG type when
connecting a PRO/1000MT Dual Port Server Adapter to an Avaya™ P580/P882 switch using
a 1000BaseT physical connection.
Use the FastEtherChannel FEC/Link Aggregation/802.3ad: static LAG type when
connecting either the PRO/1000MT or PRO/100+ Dual Port Server Adapters to an Avaya™
P580/P882 switch using a 100BaseTX physical connection.
In either case mentioned above, the Cisco PAgP protocol for dynamic EtherChannel
negotiation is disabled and the ports are forced to act as a single connection with load
sharing. For optimal performance, Intel recommends that the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
be disabled when using either of these two LAG modes for adapter teaming.
