5.4 Intel Adapter Teaming
The cPCI-6760DK/P5 series support Intel Adapter Teaming which provides
several options for increasing throughput and fault tolerance when running
Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0, or NetWare 4.1x or newer. There are four
options that can be supported by the cPCI-6760DK/P5. The options are
listed below:
1.
Adapter Fault Tolerance:
provides automatic redundancy for your
Ethernet port (adapter). If the primary port (adapter) fails, the secondary
takes over. You can create up to eight Fault Tolerance teams. Each
team can have 2 - 8 ports (or adapters).
2.
Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB):
creates a team of two to eight
Ethernet ports (or adapters) to increase transmission throughput. Also
includes Fault Tolerance option. Works with most switches.
3.
Fast Ethernet Channel (FEC):
creates a team of two, four or eight ports
(adapters) to increase transmission and reception throughput. Also
includes Fault Tolerance option. Requires a switch with FEC capability.
You can create up to four teams.
4.
Link Aggregation:
creates a team of two, four or eight ports (adapters)
to increase transmission and reception throughput. Also includes Fault
Tolerance option. Requires a switch with Link Aggregation capability.
You can create up to four teams.
