Question on NIC Teaming...

In fault tolerant mode; we generally connect the two NICs to two different
access switches..

It just stuck me; that this might be providing Fault tolerance when one of
the NIC goes down; but what happens when there is a indirect failure like
the uplink between the Acesss switch and distribution switch fails..?

How does the server come to know of this failure condition? (For its
outgoing traffic)
