I am trying to set up NIC Teaming on my Windows Server 2012 which has two incoming connections from different ISPs (ISP A and ISP B) on 2 NICs on the server. Internally I have configured the 1st NIC with ISP A on .100.x and 2nd NIC with ISP B on .200.x.

My query is, how do I smartly configure the NIC Teaming such that when the connection from ISP A fails, the other 2nd NIC takes takes over and still do the work of both networks?

  • Do it's only to support user, or you have too internet traffic coming in for your servers ? (like email, hosted webserver, etc..) As if you have traffic coming in, you need adjust the domain host record to redirect to the good place. – yagmoth555 Dec 16 '14 at 14:07

You can't do this. It is absolutely the wrong technology to use to connect to different networks. NIC teaming is for resilience and aggregation to a single network.

Instead of teaming the NICs, you need a load balancer or a wan failover device. You can do that on Windows Server by following this Technet Guide http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/hh831698.aspx .
