Configuring WLBS Through A Multiple Network Interface Cards
The use of a second NIC may improve performance by handling traffic simultaneously with the original NIC. Multicast support is enabled by default. However, if you disable multicast support, the use of multiple network interface cards (with one NIC dedicated to handling cluster traffic) is greatly preferred to achieve optimum performance and the full range of networking functionality.
To set the WLBS bindings for use with multiple network interface cards:
1. In Control Panel, double-click Network and then click the Bindings tab.
2. In the Show Binding For drop down list, select All Protocols.
The bindings for all installed networking protocols can be displayed and modified in this dialog box. Note that WLBS Driver appears in the list of protocols. For each protocol, you can see the network interface cards, also known as adapters, to which each protocol is bound.
3. Click the plus sign (+) to the left of each protocol to see the adapters to which it is bound. When the bindings are displayed, you will see a minus sign (-) to the left of the protocol.
You will notice that WLBS Virtual NIC appears in the list of adapters for the TCP/IP and WINS Client protocols. WLBS registers itself with Windows NT as both a protocol and as a virtual network adapter. In addition, you should see at least two other adapters corresponding to actual NICs installed in your system.
