o
Syntax: LOAD CPQANS MODE=XXX
o Example: LOAD CPQANS MODE=NFT
NOTE: NFT is the default mode. Issuing a "LOAD CPQANS COMMIT" command without
specifying a "MODE" will result in a team configured for the Network Fault Tolerance mode.
• Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB). Creates a team of two or more adapters to increase transmission
throughput while providing adapter redundancy. HP recommends that all adapters in an ALB team
be the same speed (either all Gigabit or all Fast Ethernet). In an ALB team, the primary adapter is
used for receiving and transmitting, while all other team members transmit. ALB works with any
Ethernet switch. No performance gain is made with a hub or repeater.
o Syntax: LOAD CPQANS MODE=XXX
o Example: LOAD CPQANS MODE=ALB
• Fast EtherChannel (FEC). Creates a team of HP Fast Ethernet server adapters to increase receive and
transmit throughput using a switch with Fast EtherChannel technology. As with NFT, FEC provides
redundancy. An FEC team uses the switch FEC technology to perform the load balancing rather than
the server. The switch algorithm determines which ports are used for transmits and receives. All
adapters are capable of receiving and transmitting at the same time.
o Syntax: LOAD CPQANS MODE=XXX
o Example: LOAD CPQANS MODE=FEC
NOTE: FEC teaming requires a switch with Fast EtherChannel technology. Refer to the
"Important teaming notes" section for more information about configuring your switch for FEC
or GEC teams.
• Gigabit EtherChannel (GEC). Creates a team of HP Gigabit server adapters to increase receive and
transmit throughput using a switch with Gigabit EtherChannel technology. As with NFT, GEC
provides redundancy. A GEC team uses the switch GEC technology to perform the load balancing
rather than the server. The switch algorithm determines which ports are used for transmits and
receives. All adapters are capable of receiving and transmitting at the same time.
o Syntax: LOAD CPQANS MODE=XXX
o Example: LOAD CPQANS MODE=GEC
NOTE: GEC teaming requires a switch with Gigabit EtherChannel technology. Refer to the
"Important teaming notes" section for more information about configuring your switch for FEC
or GEC teams.
• 802.3ad (Link Aggregation Control Protocol – LACP). Creates a team of HP Gigabit server adapters
to increase receive and transmit throughput using a switch that supports 802.3ad with LACP
protocol.
o Syntax : LOAD CPQANS MODE=xxx
o Example : LOAD CPQANS MODE=AD
Important teaming notes
• Configuring Fast EtherChannel (FEC) or Gigabit EtherChannel (GEC) typically requires pairs of ports
(two or four ports). However, review the documentation that comes with your FEC- or GEC-capable
switch for more information. After your switch is correctly configured, you can configure your GEC
or FEC team in accordance with your switch. You should always configure your switch first then your
server for GEC or FEC teams.
