A method and apparatus of managing a network connection of a network node comprising a NIC of a first type and a NIC of a second type. The method comprises: creating an interface device in the network node and setting the interface device to exchange data with a bridge connected to the NIC of the first type in response to detection of a failure in the NIC of the first type; determining a secondary node; instructing the secondary node to create and set a corresponding interface device; constructing a data channel between the interface device and the corresponding interface device, such that the data channel is capable of conducting data transmission using a network formed by the NICs of the second type. The apparatus corresponds to the above method.
