This section explains about link aggregation configuration.
Configuration for Blade Servers
Connect an external port of a LAN switch blade and an external port using link aggregation. Usually, link aggregation is not used for connecting an internal port of a LAN switch blade and a blade server. Configure the NIC on the server in active/standby and connect.
In "Figure C.2 Configuration Example for Blade Servers", Intel PROSet is used for configuring the NIC on a physical L-Server in active/standby. In VMware, the NICs in a VM host are configured in active/standby using VM host functions.

Configuration for Rack Mount Servers
Usually, link aggregation is not used between rack mount servers and switches that are directly connected to rack mount servers. Link aggregation can be used between switches.
