Setup of Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT)/Adaptive Load
Balancing (ALB)
Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT) is a feature that creates a group containing more than one adapter.
With this feature, when the working adapter gets any problem, the process on it is automatically
transferred to the other adapter in the group.
Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB) is a feature that creates a group containing more than one adapter
and enhances the throughput by operating packet transmission from the server by all the adapters.
This feature includes AFT feature.
IMPORTANT:
AFT/ALB setup must be operated after installing the drivers and
restarting the system.
The adapters specified as a group of Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT)
can work, whether they are connected to same Hub or separated
Hubs. But if they are connected to the separated Hubs, those Hubs
must exist on the same LAN (Segment). Therefore, set the
connection as cascade connection.
The adapters specified as a group of Adaptive Load Balancing
(ALB) can be connected to only Switching Hub.
