4.7 Teami ng and Other Advanced Networking
Properties
Before creating a team, adding or removing team members, or changing advanced settings of a team
member, make sure each team member has been configured in a similar way. Settings to check
include VLANs and QoS Packet Tagging, Jumbo Frames, and the various offloads. Advanced adapter
properties and teaming support are listed below.
Advanced Adapter Properties and Teaming Support
A team does not necessarily inherit adapter properties. Instead, various properties depend on the
specific capability. For instance, an example would be flow control, which is a physical adapter
property and has nothing to do with BASP, and will be enabled on a particular adapter if the miniport
driver for that adapter has flow control enabled.
` All adapters on the team must support the property listed in "• Advanced Adapter Properties
and Teaming Support" (Jpg.138) in order for the team to support the property.
