Create a network team/bond device (Linux and FreeBSD)
A list of regular network adapters is provided here, to create a Network Team / Bond device.
The available modes for the team depend on the OS teaming / bonding driver in use. On Linux
the team may be created with a DHCP or Static IP address. On Windows, only DHCP is allowed
when creating the team, although both DHCP and Static IP addressing is supported for the
team adapter, after it is created successfully. Please check with the driver documentation for the
supported modes for creating a team / bond, with offload enabled Chelsio cards. All modes may
not be available with all configurations / combinations. Also, the team members can only be 2
ports of a single offload-enabled card, and not across Chelsio cards. Do not mix third party
cards and offload-enabled Chelsio cards in a single team.
