NIC Teaming allows multiple network adapters to be combined into a single logical NIC, providing redundancy and potentially improving load balancing. Make sure your network adapter's drivers and firmware are up to date. Hi all, i was wondering if anybody know how i can use 2 network cards simultaneously. I have a home lab with two 3750 switches where one is configure as a DS switch and the other as a AS switch. Problem is i can't ping the mgmt vlan ip of both the. I would like to know if a physical system or a VM is connected with 2 Network cards and receiving IP from DHCP in the same network and subnet can both network card work simultaneously on the same subnet? Kindly replay. Thanks guys, xt I think you need to be a little more specific by what you mean with “simultaneous connections” Do you. want to load balance between to internet connections? link the NICs so that you can get more bandwidth on. DHCP server (Windows) must have two nic cards connected to the same switch (our is virtual so it doesn't matter) in order to give out ips to the wireless network, you will have to use static IPs on the "old network", it will not work serving two dhcp scopes over the same switch. I created a new vlan on network 2 3750.
