9. Assign any available adapter or adapters to the team by moving the adapter from the Available Adapters list to the Load
Balance Members list. There must be at least one adapter in the Load Balance Members list.
10. You can assign any other available adapter to be a standby member by selecting it from the Standby Member list.
NOTE: There must be at least one Broadcom network adapter assigned to the team.
The TCP Offload Engine (TOE), Large Send Offload (LSO), and Checksum Offload (CO) columns indicate if the TOE,
LSO, and/or the CO properties are supported 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.
NOTES:
• 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.
