Ans. Grouped interface will participate in load sharing, load balancing and fault tolerance, while ungrouped interfaces can not participate in these. Ungrouping can be done for the Multiple IP addresses/Multiple NICs type of groups. Ungrouping is most advantageous when the user wants to configure a particular NIC differently from the group. Grouped interface adapters will have same properties, while ungrouped adapters may have different properties.
