Chapter 2: Configuring Teaming

Note

You must assign at least one Allied Telesis or Broadcom-based
network adapter to the team.

The TCP Offload Engine (TOE), Large Send Offload (LSO), and
Checksum Offload (CO) columns indicate if the TOE, LSO, and the
CO properties are supported (Y) or not supported (N) for the adapter.
The TOE, LSO, and CO properties are enabled for a team only when
all of the members support and are configured for the feature. If this is
the case, then the team offload capabilities appear on the bottom of
the screen.

Note

Adding a network adapter to a team where its driver is disabled may
negatively affect the offloading capabilities of the team. This may
have an impact on the team's performance. Therefore, it is
recommended that only driver-enabled network adapters be added
as members to a team.
