April 12, 20215 yr I have a 4 port Nic in and one in a windows server PC - Is it possible to setup team/bonds directly betweeen the 2 computers without a switch? I've tried bonding on the unraid side with ip 192.168.10.1/24 and setting up teams on the windows server with ip 192.168.10.2 but this doesn't seem to work - is it possible?
April 12, 20215 yr Community Expert Which bonding mode? Do the ports show as up? i.e. have you tested with just one port no bonding.
April 12, 20215 yr Author It will only let me choose active-backup (1) - If i trie to alter it it defaults back to it. Should it be on something else? Ports are showing up as up and connected in Windows team. Teams is set up with the default additional settings: Switch Independent,Dynamic, Standby:none
April 13, 20215 yr Author Single port without bonding doesn't work either - detecting cables plugged in but can't ping. I'm going to make up a crossover cable just to test - Spec sheets say both Nics can use normal cabling but I'll test it to rule it out.

Might end up running the link through a switch - seemed a bit pointless as they are next to each other.
