Can you team two adapters that are connecting two
different VLANs ans still maintain fault tolerance
feature?  How do you assign the IP to team virtual
adapter in case of two NICS located in different
VLANs?

Thanks,

Jane

Vineet,
 
When you say, "trying to ping the network", do you
mean he was trying to
ping 192.168.0.0? If you needed the 200Mbps / 2Gbps
(depending on the
NIC capabilities) have you considered using NICs
capable of teaming
(like Intel Pro100/s - can't confirm Linux drivers)?
This would give you
your bandwidth and eliminate any confusion of which
address to forward
packets out of. It looks as if your friend is trying
to set up a bridge
- does he have a specific aim, or is this an
academic exercise?
