When using Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 4, sometime we face a challenge that Team Create option is not available.

When the software of Broadcom NIC Teaming Software is installed, usually default options are used by clicking Next, Next. By doing this a crucial option of BASP is missed to be enabled.

During this, need to enable option BASP, which is present under CIM Provider.

After the installation is completed, launch the Broadcom Advanced Control Suite and option for Creating Teams would be show if any Unassigned Adapters are available, by right clicking on Teams option.
