Teaming NICS On Compaq Server 2

[jasmjaso]

I need to know how to team nics on a compaq server with Linux as the OS. This is very different from teaming in windows!! Please help!!

Firstly.. in order to team the NICs you need to have a recent service pack installed on NT4, Win2k is ok

If the compaq drivers have been installed, there should be a green icon in the system try that looks some what like a network card!

Simply double click on the icon, which will display the teaming and configuration window.

Highlight each nic that you wish to team and click the TEAM button

When you OK the settings the network configuration should be re-bound and prompt you for the IP address of the Team.

Configure as normal and reboot the box


Hope this helps
