7.5 How to Configure Network Interface Card Teaming

Network interface card (NIC) teaming is the process of grouping together several physical NICs into one

single logical NIC

The goal of the NIC teaming services is to provide fault tolerance across a team of two or more ports on a

TCOSS server.

By NIC teaming more than one physical NIC to a logical NIC, high availability of a TCOSS server is

maximized. Even if one NIC (or cables) fails, the network connection does not cease and continues to

operate on other NICs.
