2.12 Dua LAN and Teaming Operation Guide

Dual LAN with Teaming enabled on this motherboard allows two single

connections to act as one single connection(s) for twice the transmission

bandwidth, making data transmission more eective 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.

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 trac. e Secondary adapter will receive fallback trac 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.

Step 1

From Device Manager, open the properties of a team.

Step 2

Click the Settings tab.

Step 3

Click the Modify Team button.

Step 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 soware 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. e adapter will, however,

rejoin the team as a non-primary.

e speed of transmission is subject to the actual network environment or status even with

Teaming enabled.
