LACP Timer is configured incorrectly when you create a new NIC Team for LBFO in Windows Server 2016

This article describes an issue that Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) Timer is configured incorrectly when you create a new NIC Team for LBFO in Windows Server 2016.

Applies to:   Windows Server 2016
Original KB number:   4014014

Symptoms

In Windows Server 2016, there's a new feature that lets administrators configure the LACP Timer in either a Fast or Slow mode, depending on the device.

When you create a NIC Team for Load Balancing and Failover (LBFO) on Windows Server 2016 by using the New-NetLbfoTeam cmdlet, and you define the LACP Timer as Fast, the LBFO team that's created is configured with a Slow LACP Timer instead.

Workaround

To work around this issue, use the Set-NetLbfoTeam cmdlet to make the LBFO team use the correct LACP Timer.

For example:

Set-NetLbfoTeam -LacpTimer Slow

Reference
