Multipath Connection When Using Bonding
To configure a multipath connection, set multipath with master ports with the Bonding setting. For ports
configured with a multipath connection, IP addresses in the same subnet must be specified.
The following shows an example of a connection when bundling two NAS interface ports by Bonding, defining
two VLANs for the virtual devices, and configuring a multipath (Active-Active connection).

Note
During the operation phase
The following description shows how the failover works when ports are set for redundancy using a
multipath connection and configured with two sets of Bonding groups each with two ports.
