Load Balancing: This distributes the traffic load across LAN1 and LAN2. LAN1 and LAN2
are on the same subnet with the same IP address. It also includes backup functionality (fault
tolerance).

Figure 141 Load Balancing Teaming Mode

Link Aggregation: This uses IEEE 802.3ad port link aggregation to combine LAN1 and
LAN2 into a single logical link with greater bandwidth. Both interfaces use the same IP
address and MAC address. It also includes fault tolerance and load balancing. Connect LAN1
and LAN2 to the same Ethernet switch. The switch must also have IEEE 802.3ad port link
aggregation (also called trunking) enabled for the two interfaces connected to the NSA.

Jumbo Frames
To use jumbo frames, your network must support 1 Gbps transmissions (Gigabit Ethernet). All
of your network devices (computer Ethernet cards and switches, hubs, or routers) must also
support the same size of jumbo frames that you specify in the NSA.
