3.6.2 Recommended Order of Implementation
Alacritech strongly recommends that teams be created using the following sequence.
Using an alternative sequence of steps may result in unpredictable behavior.
1. Establish TCP/IP communication over a single Ethernet link. If this is a new in-
stallation of an Alacritech Accelerator it is important that network connectivity
be established before configuring a team. All other ports that will later be used
on the team should be disabled and not have cables connected to them.
2. If using EtherChannel/802.3AD, set up the switch according to the vendor‟s in-
structions. Once the team is set up on the switch you will have full network
connectivity as long as there is only one physical connection to the host.
3. Set up the team on the host using the steps below.
4. Connect the remaining Ethernet cables to the appropriate switch and host
ports. Verify the link on all connections. You should now have a fully functional
team.
