NIC Teaming
- Thread starter elassad

What did you setup for the team? Is it Network Fault Tolerance, Load Balancing or Cisco Fast Etherchannel. There may be a issue with your Nortel switch. I also can't understand what you mean in your last line. Can you please rephrase that.
In Reguards to your last statement that I kind of understand:
How are you trying to test connectivity? Do you keep one nic connected at a time and then run a ping test or do you keep them both connected to the network and run ping tests. Also, they both are supposed to have the same IP addresses.

Thanks for reply.
I used Adaptive Load Balancing teaming. Actually when Iam start ing to ping the two cardsare installed already, but when am took one of them, every thing works fine.
By my last line I mean. When you start to ping from workstations in the LAN some of them working fine, but others did not. not to mention I didn't have a problem of subnetting or any thing like this, because am lready check all workstations.
