Load Balancing and Failover type of team in which auto-fallback occurs. In
addition, the LiveLink feature is supported for the SLB team.
Standby Team Member and Auto-Fallback Disable Mode
You can designate one team member in an SLB team as the standby
member. The standby member does not actively send and receive normal
network traffic while other adapters on the team are active. If all of the
active adapters on the team fail or are disconnected, the standby member
takes over the handling of the network activities.
In Auto-Fallback Disable mode, if a load balance member returns on line,
the team continues using the standby member rather than switching back
to the load balance member. Consequently, the adapter that was initially
designated a load-balance member remains in an inactive state and
becomes the new standby member.
LiveLink
LiveLink is a feature of BASP that is available for the Smart Load
Balancing (SLB) and SLB (Auto-Fallback Disable) types of teaming. The
purpose of LiveLink is to detect link loss beyond the switch and to route
traffic only through team members that have a live link.
