This allows one to create virtual interfaces that teams together
|
|
multiple ethernet devices.
|
|
|
|
Team devices can be added using the "ip" command from the
|
|
iproute2 package:
|
|
|
|
"ip link add link [ address MAC ] [ NAME ] type team"
|
|
|
|
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
|
|
will be called team.
