Question: Is there any special configuration required in the tape backup software or hardware to work with
adapter teaming?
Answer: No special configuration is required in the tape software to work with teaming. Teaming is
transparent to tape backup applications.
Question: How do I know what driver I am currently using?
Answer: In all operating systems, the most accurate method for checking the driver revision is to
physically locate the driver file and check the properties.
Question: Can SLB detect a switch failure in a Switch Fault Tolerance configuration?
Answer: No. SLB can detect only the loss of link between the teamed port and its immediate link partner.
SLB cannot detect link failures on other ports. For more information, see LiveLink™
Functionality.
Question: Where do I monitor real time statistics for an adapter team in a Windows system?
Answer: Use the Broadcom Advanced Control Suite (BACS) to monitor general, IEEE 802.3, and
custom counters.
