Duralink64 Configurations for Windows Creating Port Aggregation and FEC Groups Port Aggregation with FEC Groups FEC allows you to fully aggregate two or four ports over transmit and receive under all protocols. The ports that are configured as the FEC group must be physically connected to the FEC ports on the switch. If using a Cisco switch, see your Cisco switch documentation to configure the ports in FEC Mode. If you select FEC on the server, the connection type for each port is automatically configured to 100 Megabits/sec TX/Full Duplex. You must also configure the ports on the switch (used by the FEC group) to either Auto Negotiation or 100 Megabits/sec/Full Duplex Mode. Keep in mind that with FEC, you can configure a minimum of two and a maximum of four ports (a Cisco limitation). A three-port configuration is not available. Creating Port Aggregation or FEC Groups in Windows 2000/XP To create Port Aggregation or FEC groups in Windows 2000 and Windows XP, both with GUI, follow these steps: 1 From the Start menu, point to Settings, and click Control Panel. 2 In the Control Panel, double-click the Adaptec Duralink icon. 4-13

Creating Port Aggregation and FEC Groups
Port Aggregation with FEC Groups
FEC allows you to fully aggregate two or four ports over transmit
and receive under all protocols. The ports that are configured as
the FEC group must be physically connected to the FEC ports on
the switch. If using a Cisco switch, see your Cisco switch
documentation to configure the ports in FEC Mode.
If you select FEC on the server, the connection type for each port is
automatically configured to 100 Megabits/sec TX/Full Duplex.
You must also configure the ports on the switch (used by the FEC
group) to either Auto Negotiation or 100 Megabits/sec/Full
Duplex Mode.
Keep in mind that with FEC, you can configure a minimum of two
and a maximum of four ports (a Cisco limitation). A three-port
configuration is not available.
