Let us not forget the teaming only works with certain switches/routers.
Not all brands (such as Cabletron/Enterasys) provide full teaming
fucntionality.

Hi Andrew,
Teaming is virtual joining of two or more network cards (usually of the
same type) to form a virtual redundant NIC which provides in theory the
throughput of all the NIC's combined.
Depending on what your goal is - you might want to consider NLBS (Network
Load Balancing Service) which is shipped with Windows Advanced Server. It
allows you to create a virtual IP address across many servers - usually
used for IIS environments.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Steven

Subject: [THIN] Compaq Network Card Teaming
Does anybody have a link to a detailed explanation of what you need
to implement this? We have several models of Compaq server DL580,
Proliant 5500,Proliant 2500,DL380,DL580,ML570 etc. etc. etc?.
I would like to test teaming on our ML570 with NC31XX cards
installed. I need a document that describes network teaming, anybody
know where I can find it. I have searched www.compaq.com or is it
www.hp.com, I guess it depends on which document you want to look at.
Anyway, any info would be helpful. I am just doing a little research
before the network guys get involved.
Thanks
Andrew
