![]() Load balancing works relatively well and is easy to deploy in this mode. Switch independent teaming interacts with the three available load balancing algorithms in the following ways. ![]() The Dynamic algorithm combines the best of the other two load balancing algorithms into one mode. Outbound traffic is hashed across the active team members and inbound traffic is handled like the Hyper-V Port mode. There are two switch dependent modes Static Teaming and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). Both modes allow the teamed adapters to approach the practical speed of all of the teamed adapters combined. The switch dependent teaming algorithms work in the following ways. Setting Up NIC Teaming Were going to take a look at setting up a LACP switch dependent NIC team with a Cisco network switch. In this example the network switch is a stack of two Cisco Catalyst 2960s. Open Server Manger by clicking on the Server Manager icon on the task bar. Enter the Team name and check the boxes of the network adapters you want to include in the team. Expand the Additional properties, set Teaming mode to LACP and Load balancing mode to Dynamic. This is highly dependent on how the rest of your system is configured. Leaving this set to Default works for this example. Click OK. Heres snippets of the relevant parts of the configuration for a two switch stack of Cisco Catalyst 2960s using four network adapters. Once both the switch and Windows Server are configured the new NIC team should be working as expected. Enjoy. Im not sure any of them need IPs, but Ive only done it with one active, addressed, NIC. ![]() Ive never used the static mode, but the switch configuration posted above sets up a Cisco port channel which uses LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol). I assume that using a port channel on a Cisco switch requires the Windows Server NIC team to be in LACP mode.
