Depends... Is this a G3? If so, the nics are capable of gigabit. Are you plugging into a gigabit switch? I can't hardly imagine the need for teamed gigabit ports. But heck, if you have the free gigabit switch ports, why not?
If you are plugging into 100mb ports on the other hand, I think you'd definitely want teaming. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bowles, John (OIG/OMP) Sent: Monday, March 22, 2004 3:45 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: OT: HP NIC Question All, I'm installing an HP DL380 server for an Exchange server. This server has dual NIC's. In the HP configuration tool, It gives you an option to team the NIC's. Would you recommend that or just use a single NIC? This server is going to be a main mailbox server. Thanks for your help. __________________ John Bowles Exchange Engineer OIG/HHS [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
