Network Interface Controller (NIC) Teaming

NIC teaming is a feature that allows multiple network interface cards in a server to be represented by one

MAC address and one IP address in order to provide transparent redundancy, balancing, and to fully

utilize network adapter resources.
Support for NIC teaming is auto-configured on the Aggregator, including support for:

MAC Address Station Move

NIC fails, traffic switches to the secondary NIC, because they are represented by the same set of
addresses.
