 FEC/GEC Generic Trunking
In this mode, configure a team using FEC/GEC Generic Trunking.
All the team members must be connected to the same switch where FEC/GEC Generic Trunking is set. 
Also, a standby member cannot be set in this mode.
Errors that teaming can detect
 For Smart Load Balancing and FEC/GEC Generic Trunking, only a link down error between a LAN 
card (onboard LAN) and the switch it connects with, and the equivalent errors lead to switching of the 
route. Therefore, if only the switch or LAN card (onboard LAN) is partially damaged and the route 
being used is sound at the link level, the route will not be switched in the team, but the communication 
with the Team may become an error.
When the mode is 802.3ad Link Aggregation using Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), the path 
is switched from the failed port to the normal port according to LACP protocol.
