We have a backup server with 4x1GB NICs. All 4 NICs are configures as a single Team (Switch Independent, Dynamic). NIC 1-2 are connected to SW01, NIC 3-4 are connected to SW02 and the switches are interconnected on 4 ports.
NIC1,2=====SW01
||||
NIC3,4=====SW02
The switchport trunk types are LACP between the switches. There is nothing configured on the switchports connecting to the backup server
Now, the speed of the Team is 4GB but the server does not utilise more than 1 NIC at a time due to the way it is configured
The question is how do I configure the server and the switches to maximise throughput of the network card(s) to allow the backups to complete quicker? The bottleneck is not the trunk between the switches
The server is Windows Server 2016 Datacenter, the switches are HP E2910al-48G, not stacked
Thanks
