description
Info Level: Intermediate Presenter: Eli the Computer Guy Date Created: June 4, 2013 Length of Class: 22:38 Research Assistance: Tracks Windows Server 2012 Prerequisites Students should be comfortable working in the Windows Server 2012 environment, and understand basic TCP/IP Networking. Purpose of Class This class teaches students how to team NIC's in Windows Server 2012 for Fault Tolerance and Load Balancing of Network Traffic. Class Notes NIC Teaming makes it appear as if multiple Network Interface Cards are a single NIC to the Server NIC Teaming is used for Load Balancing NIC Teaming is used for Fault Tolerance To manage NIC Teaming Server Manager Local Server NIC Teaming NIC Teams can connect to Multiple Switches so that if one switch fails the Server can still communicate with the network Corrections Lab Setup Used in Demonstration The ETCG Host Computer Specs are: ASUS Model: CM6870US01 16 GB of RAM 1 TB 7200 RPM Hard Drive i7 3.4 GHz Intel Processor Windows Server 2012 Member Server Virtual Machine 3 Internal Network Connections in VirtualBox Study Guide Resources http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831648.aspx http://blogs.technet.com/b/privatecloud/archive/2012/06/19/nic-teaming-in-windows-server-2012-brings-simple-affordable-traffic-reliability-and-load-balancing-to-your-cloud-workloads.aspx http://blogs.technet.com/b/keithmayer/archive/2012/10/16/nic-teaming-in-windows-server-2012-do-i-need-to-configure-my-switch.aspx#.Ua4GJkCsh8E
