Bonding NICs

Bonding network interface cards (NICs) is a way to provide redundancy for your px12-450r on the
network. If one NIC should fail, your px12-450r will remain accessible on the network if that NIC is
bonded to others. You can bond two or more network interface cards (NICs) in your px12-450r by
selecting the NICs and clicking Apply.
Use the following procedure to bond NICs.
1. On the Network page, expand the NIC number and then expand the Bond Network Interface
section.
2. Check the checkboxes next to the NICs that you want to bond to the selected NIC. For
example, if you selected NIC 1, and your configuration includes four NICs, you could bond
NIC 1 to NIC 2, 3, and/or 4.
3. Click Apply to save your settings.
The section updates and displays the NICs that are bonded to the selected NIC.
Unbonding NICs
1. To unbond a NIC, uncheck the box next to the bonded NIC.
2. Click Apply to save your settings.
