IEEE802.3ad Teaming Public Interfaces w2k3 Cluster

Hi List,

i'm working with a two node win2003 Cluster Environment.

i have purchased two Intel Pro 1000 PF Dual Port Nics and i want to use
this nics as teamed interfaces (public Cluster Interface). I'm using
Cisco Switches. These Switches supports IEEE802.3ad.

Is this a problem?? Any experiences with this??


tanks in advance

There is no qualification per se for network cards. Teaming the public
NICs should be fine, this is not supported for Private network. On a side
note, we have had some problems with networking offloading which may have
been enabled after installing SP2. I would disable this feature:

An update to turn off default SNP features is available for Windows Server
2003-based and Small Business Server 2003-based computers
