Chapter 38. Layer 2 Failover
© Copyright Lenovo 2016
The primary application for Layer 2 Failover is to support Network Adapter
Teaming. With Network Adapter Teaming, all the NICs on each server share the
same IP address, and are configured into a team. One NIC is the primary link, and
the other is a standby link. For more details, refer to the documentation for your
Ethernet adapter.
Note: Only two links per server can be used for Layer 2 LAG Failover (one primary
and one backup). Network Adapter Teaming allows only one backup NIC for each
server blade.
