Why dual nic on Ultra?
I have seen that the ultra cannot do nic teaming. Is this true? If yes, why the dual nic ports on the back?
Not trying to stir things up, but I'm not seeing ANY speed increase with this add-on. I've tried multiple Teaming Modes, both connected to a properly configured managed switch and even tried TLB and ALB modes to no avail.
Copying large test files (8.5G) on a 1Gb connection to my ALB enabled Pro6 results in avg copy speeds of 70-75MB/sec: I'm only seeing 20-25MB/sec to the Ultra6 under the same conditions-- and that's regardless of the Teaming Mode chosen.
I'm also not a fan of 'the Ultra just isn't powerful enough to handle teaming'. It has an Atom processor and mine sports 2G of memory. I run TLB teaming on HP NICs in an enterprise DC all-day, every day and its on-board processor is nowhere near as powerful as an Atom. And generally neither is the memory.
Seriously: I'm completely at a loss here. Anyone else experiencing this?
