I have installed windows server 2012 r2 on server. Server is having network adapters i have given static ip address to both nic's

LAN1: - 192.168.0.100 & LAN2: - 192.168.0.101 after enabling NIC Teaming server have added one more adapter called "Network Adapter Multiplexor" after this above mentioned ip address are not responding to PING or any requests. Then i have given 192.168.0. 102 ip address to Multiplexor and its started working.

So my question do i need to give ip address to LAN1 & LAN2 or i can just create team and give ip address to Multiplexor Also if i installed hyper-v server on it will it give me failover thing for this machine.????

Hello Akshay,

In brief, after creating the Teaming adapter (Multiplexor) you'll use it's address for future networking purposes.

Regarding the lack of ping, I had the same "issue" and it seems like is block by the Microsoft code itself. Still couldn't find how to allow it.

When digging into W2k12(&R2) NIC Teaming this two pages were very explanative and usefull:
