All adapters in the selected team must support
advanced settings to be displayed on this tab. Some team properties
might not be available for all adapters.
On the Ethernet Devices tab, select a
team.
Click Properties.
Select the Settings tab.
Controls:
Network Address.
Team MAC
Address. Displays the current team MAC address initially
assigned by the NCU. This can be changed by the Administrator.
Configure this address ONLY through the Properties dialog in the
NCU. Do not attempt to configure the Network Address for individual
team members through a Local Area Connection property sheet. Doing
so may affect the operation of the team. The default Team Network
Address is determined arbitrarily for all team types.
Restore
Default. Restores the Team Network address that the NCU
calculates as the default.
Path Validation Settings.
Enable transmit
path validation and Enable receive path validation.
Enables or disables the two types of path validation frames:
Transmit Path Validation Frames and Receive Path Validation Frames.
Both types are valid for NFT, TLB, and 802.3ad Dynamic with Fault
Tolerance teams. Only Transmit Path Validation Frames are valid for
SLB teams.
Path validation provides an additional
level of adapter failure detection above simple link failure
detection. When enabled, Path Validation causes packets to be
transmitted between team members to ensure proper transmit and
receive functionality among the adapters in the team. When this
selection is enabled, you specify the interval between packets.
Default = Enabled
Range = Disabled; Enabled
When changing team type to SLB from NFT,
TLB, or 802.3ad Dynamic with Fault Tolerance, the settings for
Receive Path Validation Frames are remembered and reapplied if the
team is changed back to NFT, TLB, or 802.3ad Dynamic with Fault
Tolerance.
Transmit path
validation timer interval and Receive path validation timer
interval (in seconds). When path validation settings are
enabled, this option specifies the amount of time between
validations of an otherwise inactive team member to ensure that it
is transmitting and receiving properly. Path Validation packets are
only generated in the absence of transmit or receive traffic for a
team member.
Default = 3 seconds
Range = 3–60 seconds
Advanced Settings.
Value.
Enables or disables the selected property.
Restore
Default. Restores the selected property to its default
value. The current value and the default for the selected property
are indicated for your reference.
Property.
These Windows Server 2003 team properties only display if they are supported by the selected
team.
802.1p QoS
Packet Tagging. Enables or disables IEEE 802.1p tagging to
send network traffic with different priority levels.
Default = Disabled
Range = Disabled; Enabled
TCP Offload
Engine (TOE). Enables the offloading of TCP connections to
teamed HP Multifunction Server Adapters. Microsoft Scalable
Networking Pack (SNP) is required.
Default = Enabled
Range = Disabled; Enabled
Receive-Side
Scaling (RSS). Enables dynamic load balancing of incoming
traffic across teamed adapters. Microsoft Scalable Networking Pack
(SNP) is required.
Default = Enabled
Range = Disabled; Enabled
Maximum Frame
Size. Specifies the maximum number of bytes in a single
packet. Larger frames can increase throughput and decrease CPU use
by putting more data in each packet, thereby sending out fewer
packets. This is equivalent to Jumbo Frames and must comply with
switch limitations.
Default = 1514 Bytes
Range = 1324 Bytes; 1514 Bytes; 4088 Bytes;
9014 Bytes
Rx TCP Checksum
Offload. Offloads the task of computing the checksum for
incoming TCP or UDP packets, thereby improving performance.
Default = Enabled
Range = Disabled; Enabled
Tx TCP Checksum
Offload. Offloads the task of computing the checksum for
outgoing TCP or UDP packets, thereby improving performance.
Default = Enabled
Range = Disabled; Enabled
Rx IP Checksum
Offload. Offloads the task of computing the checksum for
incoming IP packets, thereby improving performance.
Default = Enabled
Range = Disabled; Enabled
Tx IP Checksum
Offload. Offloads the task of computing the checksum for
outgoing IP packets, thereby improving performance.
Default = Enabled
Range = Disabled; Enabled
Large Send
Offload. Enables offloading of large TCP packets.
Default = Enabled
Range = Disabled; Enabled
If an IPMI enabled adapter is added to a
team that includes adapters with Large Send Offload enabled, Large
Send Offload is disabled for all of the adapters on the
team.
Property.
These Windows Server 2008 team properties only display if they are supported by the selected
team.
Teaming is not supported on HP NC51xx
adapters.
Jumbo
Packet. The size, in bytes, of the largest supported Jumbo
Packet (an Ethernet frame that is greater than 1514 bytes) that the
hardware can support.
IPv4 Checksum
Offload. Describes whether the device enabled or disabled
the calculation of IPv4 checksums.
Default = Rx/Tx Enable
Range = Disable; Tx Enable; Rx Enable;
Rx/Tx Enable
TCP Checksum
Offload (IPv4). Describes whether the device enabled or
disabled the calculation of TCP Checksum over IPv4 packets.
Default = Rx/Tx Enable
Range = Disable; Tx Enable; Rx Enable;
Rx/Tx Enable
TCP Checksum
Offload (IPv6). Describes whether the device enabled or
disabled the calculation of TCP checksum over IPv6 packets.
Default = Rx/Tx Enable
Range = Disable; Tx Enable; Rx Enable;
Rx/Tx Enable
UDP Checksum
Offload (IPv4). Describes whether the device enabled or
disabled the calculation of UDP checksum over IPv4 packets.
Default = Rx/Tx Enable
Range = Disable; Tx Enable; Rx Enable;
Rx/Tx Enable
UDP Checksum
Offload (IPv6). Describes whether the device enabled or
disabled the calculation of UDP checksum over IPv6 packets.
Default = Rx/Tx Enable
Range = Disable; Tx Enable; Rx Enable;
Rx/Tx Enable
TCP/UDP
Checksum Offload (IPv4). Describes whether the device
enabled or disabled the calculation of TCP or UDP checksum over
IPv4 packets. If this TCP/UDP Checksum Offload (IPv4) property is
present, it overrides the TCP Checksum Offload (IPv4) and UDP
Checksum Offload (IPv4) properties and they are disabled.
Default = Rx/Tx Enable
Range = Disable; Tx Enable; Rx Enable;
Rx/Tx Enable
TCP/UDP
Checksum Offload (IPv6). Describes whether the device
enabled or disabled the calculation of TCP or UDP checksum over
IPv6 packets. This property overrides the TCP Checksum Offload
(IPv6) and UDP Checksum Offload (IPv6) properties. If TCP/UDP
Checksum Offload (IPv6) is present, TCP Checksum Offload (IPv6) and
UDP Checksum Offload (IPv6) properties are disabled.
Default = Rx/Tx Enable
Range = Disable; Tx Enable; Rx Enable;
Rx/Tx Enable
Large Send
Offload Version 1 (IPv4). Describes whether the device
enabled or disabled the segmentation of large TCP packets over IPv4
for large send offload version 1 (LSOv1).
Default = Enabled
Range = Disabled; Enabled
Large Send
Offload Version 2 (IPv4). Describes whether the device
enabled or disabled the segmentation of large TCP packets over IPv4
for large send offload version 2 (LSOv2).
Default = Enabled
Range = Disabled; Enabled
Large Send
Offload Version 2 (IPv6). Describes whether the device
enabled or disabled the segmentation of large TCP packets over IPv6
for large send offload version 2 (LSOv2).
Default = Enabled
Range = Disabled; Enabled
Flow
Control. Specifies the type of flow control that is
needed.
Default = Rx/Tx Enable
Range = Disable; Tx Enable; Rx Enable;
Rx/Tx Enable
VLAN
Promiscuous. This property allows a team to pass VLAN
tagged packets between Virtual Machine and external networks only
when there is no VLAN created on that team in the Host operating
system. If a team is assigned to a virtual machine, the NCU
disables the VLAN button to prevent VLANs from being created on the
team in the Host operating system. This property is available only
on Windows 2008 x64 version, and only when Hyper-V is installed.
Default = Disabled
Range = Disabled; Enabled
The VLAN Promiscuous property, when
enabled, and the VLAN button on the NCU GUI are mutually exclusive.
If one is selected or configured, the other is hidden or
disabled.
If Hyper-V is installed and VLANs are
created on the team in the Host operating system, the NCU either
hides the VLAN Promiscuous property or disables it.
