Adaptive Load Balancing

The default setting for your NIC configuration is Team
with Adaptive Load Balancing. This design ensures
optimum performance in NIC failover support, when
both network ports are connected to the same subnet.

However, if you find it necessary to change your
configuration to access the DataSafe NAS from more
than one subnet, the NIC configuration can be
changed to have each NIC port connected to a
different subnet. Please note that if you change the
NIC configuration, the NIC failover feature is not
provided.
Refer to the following representation of the Network
Component Tree, which appears on the left side of the
PROSet dialog box.
