Deleting a Team

To delete a team:

1. On the Team Management property page, in the left pane under Teams and Adapters, right-click the

team name to be deleted.

2. On the shortcut menu, click Delete team.

Saving and Restoring Teaming Configuration

QLogic recommends that you periodically save the configuration to prevent any accidental loss of network
topology and settings. Current configuration including the teams, VLANs, and properties can be saved to a
file. Restoring an earlier configuration results in the destruction of the current configuration.

To save a configuration:

1. On the Team Management page under Teams and Adapters, right-click the Teams folder.

2. On the shortcut menu, click Save to File.

3. Enter a location to save the configuration.

To restore a configuration:

1. On the Team Management page under Teams and Adapters, right-click the Teams folder.

2. On the shortcut menu, click Restore From File.

3. Select a previously saved configuration file.

Viewing Teaming Statistics

You can view teaming and Ethernet statistics using the QConvergeConsole (QCC) CLI utility.

To view teaming statistics, issue the following command:

qaucli -nic -statport

To reset the Ethernet statistics counter, issue the following command:

qaucli -nic -sreset [cna_port_inst]

To display Ethernet port statistics, issue the following command:

qaucli -nic -statport [cna_port_inst]

To undo the reset of Ethernet statistics counters, issue the following command:

qaucli -nic -sunreset [cna_port_inst]

Linux Bonding/Failover/Aggregation

The Linux qlcnic driver supports all the standard bonding modes supported by the Linux bonding driver
for bonding, failover, and aggregation. For additional details on the bonding modes, refer to the Linux
bonding information in the Red Hat and Novell documentation for your Linux distro version.

Using LACP on 8200 Series Adapters for Windows

By default, link aggregation control protocol (LACP) is disabled on 8200 Series Adapters (it is enabled by
default in the 3200 Series Adapters).

Perform the following steps using QLogic Device Windows Properties Page to enable LACP on a 8200
Series Adapter.

Note: This feature is available only on Cisco

®

systems (Cisco FCoE switch).
