Recently we updated one of our servers that we use as a file share and a backup to tape medium. While setting up the team it asks for which type of team I would like to create. I'm thinking of going with the LACP which combines both of the nics into one (1gbps + 1gbps = 2gbps) if Im reading correctly. My question is do I then need to configure a switch to trunk the two ports that I plug the server nics into? Or do they get pslit up between swtiches without any configuration? We have about 4 hours of backups per night it would be nice to speed that up some but also to have this server upload and download speed with users be dependable as we house rather large files here that get worked on daily. Thanks in advance:)
