Teaming/Failover
In this section, you can select the desired bonding mode. Network teaming provides a way to
aggregate the two network interfaces into a single logical teamed, or bonded, interface. The
teamed interface can provide for enhanced aggregate performance over a logical single interface
while allowing for fail-over support that reduces the number of single points of failure in the
network.
If you plan to use the Teaming/Failover option, connect both interfaces, configure the
Teaming/Failover options on the Ethernet 1 tab page, then configure the other options for Ethernet
1 and Ethernet 2 accordingly.
Note: If you plan to reserve an IP address in your DHCP server for the ReadyNAS and
will use the Teaming/Failover option, complete the ReadyNAS bonding of the
Ethernet interfaces before updating the DHCP server address reservation table.
The following teaming/fail over options are available.
