When you configure network adapters into a NIC team, they connect into the NIC teaming solution common core, which then presents one or more virtual adapters also called team NICs [tNICs] or team interfaces to the operating system. Since Windows Server supports up to 32 team interfaces per team, there are a variety of algorithms that distribute outbound traffic load between the NICs. Also, you can connect your teamed NICs to the same switch or different switches. If you connect NICs to different switches, both switches must be on the same subnet.
You can use a variety of tools to manage NIC Teaming from computers running a client operating system, such as:. Teaming of vNICs inside of the host partition is not supported in any configuration.
Attempts to team vNICs might cause a complete loss of communication if network failures occur. NIC teaming is compatible with all networking technologies in Windows Server with the following exceptions.
For SR-IOV, data is delivered directly to the NIC without passing it through the networking stack in the host operating system, in the case of virtualization. Therefore, it is not possible for the NIC team to inspect or redirect the data to another path in the team. Native host Quality of Service QoS. When you set QoS policies on a native or host system, and those policies invoke minimum bandwidth limitations, the overall throughput for a NIC team is less than it would be without the bandwidth policies in place.
TCP Chimney. You should not use Depending on the switch configuration mode and the load distribution algorithm, NIC teaming presents either the smallest number of available and supported queues by any adapter in the team Min-Queues mode or the total number of queues available across all team members Sum-of-Queues mode. When the dynamic mode algorithm detects that a flowlet boundary has been encountered - such as when a break of sufficient length has occurred in the TCP flow - the algorithm automatically rebalances the flow to another team member if appropriate.
In some circumstances the algorithm might also periodically rebalance flows that do not contain any flowlets.
Because of this, the affinity between TCP flow and team member can change at any time as the dynamic balancing algorithm works to balance the workload of the team members. Whether the team is configured with Switch Independent or one of the Switch Dependent modes, it is recommended that you use Dynamic distribution mode for best performance.
When you configure a NIC as a Standby adapter, all other unselected team members are Active, and no network traffic is sent to or processed by the adapter until an Active NIC fails. When all team members get restored to service, the standby team member returns to standby status.
You do not need to designate a Standby Adapter to achieve fault tolerance; fault tolerance is always present whenever there are at least two network adapters in a NIC Team.

Contents Exit focus mode. Then we have A dditional properties. Which means, it would be enough to just click OK after you selected the NICs and everything would be fine.
Teaming Mode is the mode the team will work on. We have one which is switch independent and we have two which are switch dependent. The switch independent options mean that we do not have to make any configuration changes on the switch side.
Using Switch Independent means that outgoing traffic will be load balanced using the algorithm we choose, but since the switches are not aware of the load balancing, the incoming traffic is not going to be load balanced. Static configuration is where we configure the ports on the switch and plug the network cards in those specific ports. This way the switch is aware of the teaming and all traffic will be load balanced.
In my windows 7 pro bit sp1 , dual nic teaming was supported by the drivers and working great. My question is since Windows 10 will more than likely not have driver support for older hardware will this feature be supported by the new Windows 10 included drivers. This thread is locked.
