Chapter 4 Operations after OS Installation
When the link status of the primary member is restored, the primary member returns to active status, and
the standby member returns to inactive status (fallback).
Smart Load Balancing (Auto-fall back disable mode)
In this mode, a standby member is used as an active member and fallback does not occur even when the
standby member is active and the link status of the primary member is restored.
802.3ad Link Aggregation using Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)
In this mode, configure a team using the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).
All the team members must be connected to the same switch where LACP is set. Also, a standby
member cannot be set in this mode.
For Windows Server 2003 (when using BACS2), do not use this mode.
