server links, use the LB option. To specify a resilient
server link group without load balancing, use the
RSL option.
For the LBRSL GROUP command syntax, see Server
Feature Commands on page 108.
3 Reboot the server.
The sample AUTOEXEC.NCF file in Figure 8 shows one
group of three NICs and one group of two NICs. The
primary NIC in slot 10001 is bound to two secondary NICs
in slot 10002 and slot 10003. The primary NIC in slot
10004 is bound to the secondary NIC in slot 10005.
