2.18 Dual LAN and Teaming Operation Guide
Dual LAN with Teaming enabled on this motherboard allows two single
connections to act as one single connection for twice the transmission
bandwidth, making data transmission more effective and improving the
quality of transmission of distant images. Fault tolerance on the dual LAN
network prevents network downtime by transferring the workload from a
failed port to a working port.
The speed of transmission is subject to the actual network environment or
status even with Teaming enabled.
Before setting up Teaming, please make sure whether your Switch (or
Router) supports Teaming (IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation). You can
specify a preferred adapter in Intel PROSet. Under normal conditions, the
Primary adapter handles all non-TCP/IP traffic. The Secondary adapter will
receive fallback traffic if the primary fails. If the Preferred Primary adapter
fails, but is later restored to an active status, control is automatically
switched back to the Preferred Primary adapter.
1. From Device Manager, open the properties of a team.
2. Click the Settings tab.
3. Click the Modify Team button.
4. Select the adapter you want to be the primary adapter and click the Set
Primary button.
If you do not specify a preferred primary adapter, the software will choose
an adapter of the highest capability (model and speed) to act as the default
primary. If a failover occurs, another adapter becomes the primary. The
adapter will, however, rejoin the team as a non-primary.
