10. If you want to configure LiveLink, select Yes, otherwise select No, then click Next.
11. Select the probe interval (the number of seconds between each retransmission of a link packet to the probe target) and the
maximum number of probe retries (the number of consecutively missed responses from a probe target before a failover is
triggered).
12. Set the Probe VLAN ID to allow for connectivity with probe targets residing on a tagged VLAN. The number set must match
the VLAN ID of the probe targets as well as the port(s) on the switch to which the team is connected.
NOTE: Each LiveLink enabled team can only communicate with Probe Targets on a single VLAN. Also, VLAN ID 0 is
equivalent to an untagged network. If the Probe VLAN ID is set to a value other than 0, then a VLAN must be created with an
identical VLAN tag value (see
Step 18. ).
13. Click the probe target at the top of the list, click Edit Target IP Address, type the target IP address in the IP Address box
for one or all probe targets, and then click OK. Click Next.
NOTE: Only the first probe target is required. You can specify up to three additional probe targets to serve as backups by
assigning IP addresses to the other probe targets.
14. Select a listed team member, click Edit Member IP Address, and then type the member IP address in the IP Address box.
Repeat for all listed team members and then click OK. Click Next.
NOTE: All of the member IP addresses must be in the same subnet as the subnet of the probe targets.
15. If you want to create a VLAN on the team, select Add VLAN, or if you want to change the settings of an existing VLAN, select
Edit VLAN, then click Next. If you do not want to create or edit a VLAN, select Skip Manage VLAN, then click Next, and
continue with the wizard from the Finish screen (see
Step 20. of this procedure).
VLANs enable you to add multiple virtual adapters that are on different subnets. The benefit of this is that your system can
have one network adapter that can belong to multiple subnets.
NOTE: VLANs can only be created when all team members are Broadcom adapters.
