Using advanced networking features 25
— Not Joined—The member cannot be joined in the team because it has an incompatible
setting. The most likely cause is changing a parameter for a team member using the local
area connection property sheet.
— Degraded (Fast Path)—The team member and no other team members can receive Bridge
Protocol Data Units (BPDUs). Because all team members have equal Fast Path status, the team
member is still in use by the team.
— Degraded (Active Path)—The team member and other team members cannot reach the echo
node. Because all team members have equal Active Path status, the team member is still in
use by the team.
— Degraded (Rx Path)—The team member is not receiving packets, and no other team member
is receiving packets. Because all team members are equal, the team member is still in use by
the team.
— Degraded (Multiple)—The team member has multiple degraded conditions.
— Degraded (Router Path)—The team member and no other team members can receive router
protocol frames. Because all team members have equal router path status, the team member
is still in use by the team.
— Failed (Active Path)—The member is not receiving replies from the configured echo node.
— Failed (Split LAN:FP)—Team members are receiving BPDUs from different networks.
— Failed (Fast Path)—No team member is receiving correct BPDUs.
— Failed (LACP)—The team member failed to establish an LACP channel.
— Failed (LACP Standby)—The team member has failed because the team has more members
than the switch supports in the LACP protocol. The port is blocked by the switch.
— Failed (Rx Path)—The team member is not receiving packets.
— Failed (Tx Path)—A failure occurred while attempting to send a packet to the team member.
— Failed (Multiple)—The team member has multiple failed conditions.
— Failed (Router Path)—The team member is not receiving router protocol frames.
— Failed (Split LAN: RP)—The team members are receiving router protocol frames from different
networks.
— Speed/Duplex—Displays the current speed/duplex setting of the team member.

Advanced Pack redundancy features
Basic redundancy features, standard with HP server adapter networking software, include link loss,
transmit path validation, and receive path validation. These basic redundancy mechanisms monitor each
teamed port for link, the ability to transmit a frame, and the ability to receive a frame.
Three advanced redundancy features, Active Path Failover, Fast Path Failover, and Router Path Failover
are available through the INP. These features allow servers to proactively adapt to networking
infrastructure problems.
These features are available for all team types except Switch assisted Load Balancing with Fault Tolerance
(SLB) and 802.3ad Dynamic with Fault Tolerance teams.
