LAN switch 1a can transfer packets not for the former MAC address as

• Load balancing using the MAC address shared by multiple NIC cards is
used. With the promiscuous mode "Through", Adaptive Load Balancing
(ALB), Intel ANS teaming mode; and Network Load Balancing (NLB),
Windows Server can perform correctly.
When using teaming and/or load balancing, it is recommended adequately
verifying the operation in advance or setting the promiscuous mode to
"Through".
For further details of teaming and load balancing functions, see the
Hitachi Compute Blade LAN Advanced Function Manual.
Packet Capturing
• Packet capture on the same network segment
When the promiscuous mode is Restricted, a unicast packet between
LPARy and the external PC-1 cannot be captured. When the promiscuous
mode is Through, a unicast packet between LPARy and the external PC-1
can be captured.
