Configuration properties

The XML data file contains configuration properties for individual NICs and NIC teams.

NIC configuration properties

The properties configured on the target server NICs from the source server data are
properties that are common to all HP NICs.

These properties include:

SpeedDuplex — determines the current speed and duplex of the NIC. Possible

values include Auto/Auto, 10/Half, 10/Full, 100/Half, 100/Full, 1000/Full. The default
is Auto/Auto. The value must be valid for the NIC on the target system.

PreferedPrimaryRanking — determines the preferred primary ranking of the

NIC. This value is written only for NICs that are teamed.

DualChannelGroup — if dual channel teaming is used, this identifies the group to

which the NIC belongs. The default is 0. This value is written only for NICs that are
teamed. For non-Dual Channel Teams, the value is always 0.

ConfiguredPortCost — defines the port cost for the NIC. The default is 0. This

value is written only for NICs that are teamed.

DefaultVlanID — determines the VLAN ID used for any un-tagged packets received

by the NIC. This only applies to NICs which have VLANs defined.

VlanID — specifies the VLAN identifier value for the device.

VlanName — specifies the descriptive name for the VLAN ID. Every VLAN must

have a name assigned to it. Duplicate names are allowed if you want to use the same
names for different VLAN IDs.

NetworkAddress — this value is written only for NICs that are not teamed. It

allows the burned-in address to be overridden with a locally administered address. A
null value will always be written to the XML data file because locally administered
addresses must be unique. A null value is valid and indicates the network address
will be the burned-in address. This value must be a valid unicast address if it is
edited.

Team configuration properties

Team configuration properties configured on the target server include:

TeamName — determines the unique identifier for the NIC team. Each team name

on the target system must be unique.

OpMode — determines operating mode of the team. Possible values are Auto,

StaticDualSlb, DynamicSingleSlb, StaticSingleSlb, FailOnFault, PrefPrimary, and
TransmitLoadBalancing.

If the OpMode is StaticDualSlb, the team is considered to be using advanced teaming.
