Dell EMC Networking - Deploying VMware vSAN with OS10 Enterprise Edition | version 1.0
5.1.3.2 Configure teaming and failover on uplinks
This section provides steps on assigning the behavior of load balancing, network failure detection, switch
notification, failback, and uplink failover order. For this example, all port groups will be assigned the same
behavior. The recommended setting for load balancing for vSAN, vMotion, and management traffic is route
based on physical NIC load. The following steps can be used to set the teaming and failover behavior:
1. On the web client Home screen, select Networking.
2. Right click on the distributed switch, then select Distributed Port Group > Manage Distributed Port
Groups.
3. Select only the Teaming and failover checkbox, then click Next.
4. Click Select distributed port groups. Check the top box to select all three port groups.
5. Click OK, then click Next.
6. On the Teaming and failover page:
a. For Load balancing, select Route based on physical NIC load.
b. For Failover order, click Uplink 1 and move it up to the Active uplinks section by clicking the
up
ar
row. Click Uplink 2 and move it up to the Active uplinks section below Uplink 1, by clicking the
up
ar
row. Move Uplinks 3 & 4 down to the Unused uplinks section. Leave other settings at their
defaults. An example is shown in Figure 11.
7. Click Next then Finish to apply the settings.
