with bonding function supported by OS.
GbE LAN controller
Standard network and
N8104-135/-138/-132/-133
Up to four teams per one system
Up to four ports per one team
Windows Server
Red Hat Linux
10GbE LAN controller
N8104-128/137
Up to two teams per one system
Up to two ports per one team
Windows Server
2008/2008R2
NOTE:
Teaming feature is not supported on iSCSI interfaces.
The network interfaces for teaming must be the same.
10GbE LAN teaming must be processed in a single LAN controller.
When 10GbE and 1GbE LAN teamings are mixed, the teams must be up to four per one system.
