Document Organization
This document is organized as follows:
Describes the SetLACState utility (SetLACState), which allows you to disable
the Local Area Connection containing an unused adapter. This stops the server
from displaying it as failed, and prevents undesired SNMP traps and error
messages.
“SetLACState Utility” (page 9)
Describes the Network Configuration Utility, which is used to configure network
adapters (NICs) and teams of network adapters. The utility’s scripting feature lets
you do this in a batch process.
