PE NF500 and Bonding
Hello everyone, a newbie here.
I just got a new PE NF500 and it comes with Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 and Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 3. This may be a dumb question, but for the life of me, I cant find where you would create the team and bond the 2 nics. Any point in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thx,
Dajuisher
I had the same problem. I downloaded the latest version of the Broadcom Advanced Control Suite from their site as it was newer than the Dell version. I installed it and got the teaming features and configured a team. However, it does not work. I cannot get any network connectivity when I team the NICs together. The software thinks it is successful, and all the setting slook good. The team is set up, has the desired IP address etc. but I cannot reach any other device on the network with a ping. If I break the team and use them individually, the NICs work fine.
I also have a quad Intel NIC (Intell Pro VT) installed and eventually want to team them all. The Advanced Control Suite seems to be able to do it, but since I can't get it to work with even two Broadcom NICs, I can't really determine if that will work.

Right click the NIC and select "create team" from the menu or go to "Teams" menu and select "Create a team"
