Hi,
Thanks for replying!
When you use SMB Multichannel with a RSS-capable network adapter, SMB creates multiple TCP/IP connections for that particular session. so, yes, SMB multichannel does automatically seek for high speed NIC ports for your storage. Besides, in S2D, SMB multichannel is enabled by default, so you do not have to worry about how to configure it. You just need to ensure all of your hardware device meet the configuration requirements and to follow the guidance to configure your S2D in a correct way. And if you have encountered any problems during your use of S2D, please feel free to feedback, we will try to help improve your user experience.
