I am running Windows Server 2008 R2 on our Dell PowerEdge R720 servers. They have 4 ports per server using Broadcom NetXtreme NICs. I am wondering how I can team the ports for better performance. I don't know much about this; just some light reading, but it has me curious.
Also this is confusing for me; within the network adapters on the server the status of 3 of the ports is 100Mbps and 1 of the ports status is 1Gbps. Under speed within the configuration of the Adapters 1Gbps is not even shown as a choice; only 10 ,100 half or full duplex
Any information would be appreciated.
