Net Server LC2000

[Neil Bradley_1]

I would like to increase the throughput of this server. Teaming network cards has been suggested to me but Our existing support say that teaming would give me adapter fault tolerance and not more throughput. Am I wrong in thinking that this is not the case..

Any help!!!!

Neil,

You're right: teaming can improve your network performance.
take a look at:
http://netserver.hp.com/support/hot_news/bpn03605.asp
It shows you the capabilities of the D5013B card and driver.
You can configure multiple NIC's (Network Interface Cards) as Fault Tolerant: if one card fails, the other one takes over or as Load balancing: deviding the load on the cards or Fastethernet (2,3,4 100MB NICs combining together as 1 logical 200,300 or 400MB NIC).
