The following Logical Adapter Information is available for all NIC teams:
Description displays a description of the NIC Team ( Network Fault Tolerant team, Transmit Load Balancing team, or Switch-assisted Load Balancing Team)
Status displays the overall status of the NIC team.
OK (green)
Degraded (yellow)
Failed (red)
Unknown (blue)
Group Type displays the group type of the NIC team (Network Fault Tolerant, Transmit Load Balancing, or Switch-assisted Load Balancing).
Switchover Mode displays the method used to determine when traffic switches from one adapter to another. There are three types of Switchover Modes:
Manual - Indicates the logical adapter has more than one physical adapter associated with it. Network traffic will only switch from the active adapter to the standby adapter under user control. This Switchover Mode is only available for Network Fault Tolerant Teams.
Fail on Fault - Indicates the logical adapter has more than one physical adapter associated with it. If the active adapter fails, network traffic automatically switches to a standby adapter. The standby adapter remains active until some action (manual switch or system restart) restores the primary adapter to active. This is the default Switchover Mode for all team types and is the only available Switchover Mode for Transmit Load Balancing Teams and Switch-assisted Load Balancing Teams.
Preferred Primary - Indicates the logical adapter has more than one physical adapter associated with it. If the active adapter fails, network traffic automatically switches to a standby adapter. If the original primary adapter recovers from the failure, it automatically becomes active again. This Switchover Mode is only available for Network Fault Tolerant Teams.
Physical (MAC) Address displays the physical address presented on the network by the logical team.
