Hi Donald,
Creating a network team of two NICs (Network Interface Cards) in Windows 11 using PowerShell is a great way to enhance network performance and reliability. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you set it up:
Open PowerShell as Administrator:
Press Win + X and select Windows PowerShell (Admin).
Check NIC Compatibility:
Ensure your NICs support teaming by running:
Get-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty -Name "TeamingMode" | Select-Object -Property DisplayName, DisplayValue
Create the NIC Team:
Use the New-NetLbfoTeam cmdlet to create a new team. Replace "MyTeam", "Ethernet1", and "Ethernet2" with your desired team name and NIC names:
New-NetLbfoTeam -Name "MyTeam" -TeamMembers "Ethernet1", "Ethernet2" -TeamingMode SwitchIndependent -LoadBalancingAlgorithm HyperVPort
Verify the NIC Team Configuration:
Get-NetLbfoTeam
Configure NIC Team Properties (Optional):
You can further configure properties like teaming mode and load balancing algorithm if needed.
