Dell Intel PRO Family of Adapters - Manual (Page 42)

NOTES:
l NLB will not work when Receive Load Balancing (RLB) is enabled. This occurs because NLB and iANS
both attempt to set the server's multicast MAC address, resulting in an ARP table mismatch.
l Teaming with the Intel® 10 Gigabit AF DA Dual Port Server Adapter is only supported with similar
adapter types and models or with switches using a Direct Attach connection.
