4 FastFrame Link Aggregation
FastFrame Link Aggregation allows multiple FastFrame 10GbE links to be combined into one logical link, for the
purpose of increasing performance. This feature applies to Windows 8, 7, Vista, Server 2012, 2008 and 2008 R2
for all ATTO FastFrame models. Note: although FastFrame link aggregation does support Server 2012 it is
recommended you use Teaming; Windows built-in link aggregation.
Installing FastFrame Link Aggregation
The FastFrame Link Aggregation driver consists of a Protocol driver and associated configuration components.
It is installed on the system along with the FastFrame drivers. To use link aggregation, the protocol driver must
be installed on the FastFrame Network Adapters.
