Onboard LAN Controller Considerations
It is possible to configure the Teaming function of AFT (Adapter Fault Tolerance)/ALB (Adaptive
Load Balancing) in a standard network controllers (on board LAN controllers). But it is impossible
to configure the Teaming function of the same AFT/ALB on a standard network controller and an
optional LAN board.
