Setting up NIC teaming in Windows Server 2016

  • Set up NIC teaming in Windows Server 2016:

    1. In Server Manager, select Local Server.
    2. In Properties, click NIC Teaming status – Disabled.
    3. In NIC Teaming, from TASKS, select New Team.
    1. In New team, type the team name, for example ConvergedNet Team, and select the NICs that you want to include in the team.
    2. In Additional properties, set Teaming mode to Switch Independent and Load balancing mode to Dynamic, and then click OK.

    Note: The dynamic mode is a new feature of Windows Server 2016. The load balancing algorithm, which balances traffic using flowlets, can spread both inbound and outbound traffic. The Hyper-V port algorithm forces all VM traffic only through one physical NIC, whereas the dynamic mode spreads traffic across all the NICs, regardless of workload.

    1. Verify that the NICs are active.
