Bonding Tab (5Big Only) - LaCie d2 network 2 User Manual

Bonding Tab (5big Only)

This section displays features made available to the 5big Network 2 when it is connected to the network via two
Ethernet cables. In the first two boxes, information about LAN1 and LAN2 are displayed.
In the third box, labelled Bonding, you can select how the 5big will use the dual LAN connection. Choose from:
No bonding (LAN1 only)
Load balancing: Load balancing distributes traffic over both LAN connections to optimize data transfers. This
feature helps to achieve maximum resource use, optimal throughput, minimize response time, and avoid
overload.
Failover: Failover protects the 5big's connection to the network in case the primary (LAN1) connection fails. In
this case, network traffic will automatically be routed through the LAN2, preventing downtime or file transfer
disruption.
