This is useful to give you additional overall throughput, since you get traffic coming into both NICs.
However, in this case, you are using different subnets.
Microsoft is conducting an online survey to understand your opinion of the Technet Web site.
2.3 – Standalone File Server, 2 NICs on server, single subnet If you don’t have a NIC teaming solution available but you are configuring a File Server, there are still ways to make it work.
Throughout this blog post, we will look into different configurations for Windows Server 2008 (and 2008 R2) where a file server uses multiple NICs.
Next, we’ll describe how the behavior of the SMB client can help distribute the load for a file server with multiple NICs.
However, there are many options to consider depending on how your network and services are laid out.
Since networking (along with storage) is one of the most common bottlenecks in a file server deployment, this is a topic worth investigating.
