Cisco Cisco Email Security Appliance C160 Mode D'Emploi

NIC pairing allows you to combine any two physical data ports in order to provide a backup Ethernet 
interface if the data path from the NIC to the upstream Ethernet port should fail. Basically, pairing 
configures the Ethernet interfaces so that there is a primary interface and a backup interface. If the 
primary interface fails (i.e. if the carrier between the NIC and the upstream node is disrupted), the 
backup interface becomes active and an alert is sent. When the primary interface is up again, this 
interface will become active automatically. Within the documentation for this product, NIC pairing is 
synonymous with NIC teaming.

NIC pairing is not available on Email Security virtual appliances.
