Unknown — the team member's status could not be determined.
Wire Fault — the member does not have a link.
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 redundancy types

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.
