Teaming issue with X99 E-WS 3.1 NIC
Teaming issue with X99 E-WS 3.1 NIC
Hello. I own an older X99 E WS 3.1 system functioning as both a data and media server. It uses a dual LAN motherboard—Intel I218-LM and Intel I210—and currently supports file transfers up to around 110MBps over the local network. My network has a 10GbE connection. Anyone familiar with this board can help me see if NIC teaming can achieve speeds near 2.0Gb? The hardware includes NVMe drives and SSDs, so storage performance isn’t the issue here.
Unfortunately, the setup is filled with HBA cards, Thunderbolt cards, NVME adapters, and the PCIe slot beneath the GPU. I attempted to bridge the dual LAN ports, though I believe it won’t boost speed—it seems more like a backup feature. I’m not sure, but it doesn’t seem to function properly.
