Appliance Virtualization Platform supports two modes of NIC teaming: Active-Standby and Active.
Active-Standby
In normal operation all the traffic goes through the active NIC setup. If this connection fails, the other standby link is activated and all the traffic uses the standby link. The settings for active and standby setup are:
Network failover detection: Link status only
Notify Switches: Yes
Failback: Yes. If the active NIC becomes available again, you can use the active NIC over the standby NIC.
Active-Active
This is an active setup that uses route based load balancing based on the originating virtual port ID. This is a basic form of load balancing that may not provide full capacity of both links.
Load Balancing: Route based on the originating virtual port ID
