Configuring Teaming - Dell Broadcom NetXtreme Family of Adapters User Manual

For the adapter driver, at the Command Line Interface (CLI):
UNLOAD B57
The response is:
Module B57.LAN unloaded
For the BASP driver, at the Command Line Interface (CLI):
UNLOAD BASP
The response is:
Module BASP.LAN unloaded
NOTE: BASP can not be unloaded if one or more adapters are bound to BASP.

NOTES:
Spanning Tree Protocol should be disabled on all switch ports to which teamed adapters are connected.
If remote management (IPMI) is enabled on a device, the IPMI service could be disrupted when the device is
added to a team other than an SLB team.
Balance Mode Selection
Use MODE=SLB for a Smart Load-Balancing type of team, MODE=TRUNK for a Generic Trunking type of team, or
MODE=802.3AD for an 802.3ad type of team. The default selection is SLB.
Example:
LOAD BASP.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_II NAME=BASP_1_EII VSLOT=1 MODE=TRUNK
NOTES:
For an SLB type of team, IPX traffic is load-balanced only on the send side, but not on the receive side.
For optimum fault tolerance and recovery operations, the BASP.LAN driver relies on the adapter drivers to generate
NESL (NetWare Event Service Layer) events during link changes and other failure events. NESL is an optional feature in
the ODI driver specification and not all drivers support it. For NESL events to propagate properly to BASP.LAN,
ODINEB.NLM must be loaded before the NESL compliant ODI drivers are loaded.
Do the following to check if an adapter driver supports NESL events: Load the BASP.LAN driver and create a team by
binding the adapter to the virtual slot. Disconnect or connect the adapter cable. The link status of each bound adapter is
shown on the Virtual Adapter X Team Members screen of the BASP.LAN menu interface. If the adapter driver supports
NESL events, the displayed link status shown on the screen should change immediately.
In IEEE 802.3ad mode, an untagged Ethernet II frame type must be loaded before LACP frames can be transmitted and
received. LACP defaults to active for all adapters in the team. Use the parameter LACP=PASSIVE to change LACP to passive
