HP ProLiant DL100 G2 Data Protection Storage Server administration guide (June 2006)

• When con ﬁguring an SLB team, although connecting team members to a hub is supported, it is

recommended to connect team members to a switch.

• Not all devices made by others are supported or fully certiﬁed for teaming.

Conﬁguring the team IP address

Perform the following steps to conﬁgure the NIC team IP address:

1. From Control P

anel, double-click Network Connections.

2. Right-click the name of the team to be conﬁgured, and then click Properties

3. On the General tab, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.

4. Conﬁgure the IP address and any other necessary TC P/I P conﬁguration for the team, a nd then

click OK when ﬁnished.

NOTE:

For further

informationonconﬁguring the adapter for teaming, load balancing, and VL AN support, see

the online H

elp on the Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 2 user interface.

Adding a VLAN

BASP also supports adding virtual LANs (V LANs) to a team. This enables the administrator to add

multiple virtual adapters for different subnets. In other words, the storage ser ver can have one network

adapter for multiple subnets. With a VLAN, you can couple the functionality of load balancing for the

load balance members, and you can employ a failover adapter.

Up to 64 VLANs per team (63 VL ANs that are tagged and 1 VLAN that is not tagged) can be deﬁned.

VL ANs can only be created when all team members are Broadcom adapters. Creating a VLAN with a

non-Broadcom adapter will result in an error message being displayed.

NOTE:

If you remove a team, do so only after you remove the individual virtual adapters that are a part of the

team.

NOTE:

For instructions on adding a VLAN, refer to the online Help on the Broadcom Advanced Control Suite

2userinterface.
