the driver adjusts the adapter's interrupt setting to achieve that DPC rate. Changing this setting may improve performance for some configurations. • EnablePME-Allows the use of power management and wake-up functions. • SmartPowerDown-Minimizes power consumption by enabling the adapter to enter a deep sleep mode under certain conditions. • DefaultVlanId-Determines the VLAN ID used for any un-tagged packets received by the adapter. This only applies to adapters that have VLANs defined. • DefaultVLANTag-This feature adds a VLAN tag to the Default/Native VLAN packet. Team configuration properties Team configuration properties that are configured on the target server include the following: • TeamName determines the unique identifier for the adapter team. Each team name on the target system must be unique. • OpMode determines the operating mode of the team. Possible values are Auto, DynamicSingleSlb, StaticSingleSlb, TransmitLoadBalancing, TLBwithPref, FailOnFault, and PrefPrimary. • LoadBalAlgorithm determines the team load balancing algorithm. Possible values are MACAddress, IPAddress, TCPConnection, RoundRobin, and Auto. • TeamNetworkAddress establishes the MAC address for the adapter team. A null value is always written to the XML data file because locally administered addresses must be unique. A null value is valid and computes a default address. This value must be a valid unicast address if it is edited. • TxPathValidationMode enables or disables the packet signal transmitted between the teamed adapters. • RxPathValidationMode enables or disables the packet signal received between the teamed adapters. • TxPathValidationInterval determines how frequently the packet signals are transmitted. The range of acceptable values is 3 to 60. Values less than 3 are set to 3, and values greater than 60 are set to 60. • RxPathValidationInterval determines how frequently the packet signals are received. The range of acceptable values is 3 to 60. Values less than 3 are set to 3, and values greater than 60 are set to 60. • RxPathValidationVlanId determines the VLAN on which Receive Path Validation packet frames are transmitted. This value is only written when a VLAN is defined for the team. The default is the VLAN on the team with the lowest VLAN ID at the time the team is created. • DefaultVlanId determines the VLAN ID used for any un-tagged packets received by the team. This property only applies to teams that have VLANs defined. • DefaultVLANTagging adds a VLAN tag to the Default/Native VLAN packet. DefaultVLANTagging is supported on Windows Server 2008 systems only. • TOEEnabled enables the offloading of TCP connections to HP Multifunction Server Adapters. The TOEEnabled property is only valid when all the team members support TOE. Possible values are 0=Disabled and 1=Enabled. • RSSEnabled enables dynamic load balancing of incoming traffic across CPUs. Possible values are 0=Disabled and 1=Enabled. • JumboPacket indicates the size in bytes of the largest supported Jumbo Packet (an Ethernet frame that is greater than 1514 bytes) that the hardware can support.

improve performance for some configurations.
EnablePME
—Allows the use of power management and wake-up functions.
SmartPowerDown
—Minimizes power consumption by enabling the adapter to enter a deep sleep
mode under certain conditions.
DefaultVlanId
—Determines the VLAN ID used for any un-tagged packets received by the adapter. This
only applies to adapters that have VLANs defined.
DefaultVLANTag
—This feature adds a VLAN tag to the Default/Native VLAN packet.
Team configuration properties
Team configuration properties that are configured on the target server include the following:
TeamName
determines the unique identifier for the adapter team. Each team name on the target system
must be unique.
OpMode
determines the operating mode of the team. Possible values are Auto, DynamicSingleSlb,
StaticSingleSlb, TransmitLoadBalancing, TLBwithPref, FailOnFault, and PrefPrimary.
LoadBalAlgorithm
determines the team load balancing algorithm. Possible values are MACAddress,
IPAddress, TCPConnection, RoundRobin, and Auto.
TeamNetworkAddress
establishes the MAC address for the adapter team. A null value is always written
to the XML data file because locally administered addresses must be unique. A null value is valid and
computes a default address. This value must be a valid unicast address if it is edited.
TxPathValidationMode
enables or disables the packet signal transmitted between the teamed adapters.
RxPathValidationMode
enables or disables the packet signal received between the teamed adapters.
TxPathValidationInterval
determines how frequently the packet signals are transmitted. The range of
acceptable values is 3 to 60. Values less than 3 are set to 3, and values greater than 60 are set to 60.
RxPathValidationInterval
determines how frequently the packet signals are received. The range of
acceptable values is 3 to 60. Values less than 3 are set to 3, and values greater than 60 are set to 60.
RxPathValidationVlanId
determines the VLAN on which Receive Path Validation packet frames are
transmitted. This value is only written when a VLAN is defined for the team. The default is the VLAN on
the team with the lowest VLAN ID at the time the team is created.
DefaultVlanId
determines the VLAN ID used for any un-tagged packets received by the team. This
property only applies to teams that have VLANs defined.
DefaultVLANTagging
adds a VLAN tag to the Default/Native VLAN packet. DefaultVLANTagging is
supported on Windows Server 2008 systems only.
TOEEnabled
enables the offloading of TCP connections to HP Multifunction Server Adapters. The
TOEEnabled property is only valid when all the team members support TOE. Possible values are
0=Disabled and 1=Enabled.
RSSEnabled
enables dynamic load balancing of incoming traffic across CPUs. Possible values are
0=Disabled and 1=Enabled.
JumboPacket
indicates the size in bytes of the largest supported Jumbo Packet (an Ethernet frame that
is greater than 1514 bytes) that the hardware can support.
