9. For HP StoreAll 9300, 9320, 8200, and 8800 1 GbE Storage systems: Select the appropriate
bond mode on the Edit Bond Mode screen by using the UP and DOWN arrow keys or the Tab
key on your keyboard, and then select Ok.
Mode=1 (Default): Use this mode to direct all network traffic to one port. Remaining ports
act as a backup, if the designated port fails. Use this option if only a few ports exist in
the network, and the primary intent is to avoid configuration conflicts.
Mode=4 (Recommended): Use this option to balance network traffic across multiple ports.
To use this option, an Ethernet switch configuration is required.
Mode=6 (Optional): Use this option to balance network traffic across all ports and cause
traffic to a given client to be directed to one port. This option is recommended if the switch
cannot be configured.
10. Complete the Add Bond Interface screen, and then select Ok.
1 1. On the Configuration Summary screen, review your configuration details, and then select
Commit.
