Loading Frame Types - D-Link DGE-560SX User Manual

Use MODE=SLB for a Smart Load-Balancing type of team, MODE=TRUNK for a Generic
Trunking type of team, or MODE=802.3AD for an 802.3ad type of team. The default selection
is SLB.
Example:
LOAD BASP.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_II NAME=BASP_1_EII VSLOT=1 MODE=TRUNK
NOTES:

For an SLB type of team, IPX traffic is load-balanced only on the send side, but not on
the receive side.

For optimum fault tolerance and recovery operations, the BASP.LAN driver relies on
the adapter drivers to generate NESL (NetWare Event Service Layer) events during
link changes and other failure events. NESL is an optional feature in the ODI driver
specification and not all drivers support it. For NESL events to propagate properly to
BASP.LAN, ODINEB.NLM must be loaded before the NESL compliant ODI drivers are
loaded.
Do the following to check if an adapter driver supports NESL events: Load the BASP.LAN
driver and create a team by binding the adapter to the virtual slot. Disconnect or connect
the adapter cable. The link status of each bound adapter is shown on the Virtual Adapter
X Team Members screen of the BASP.LAN menu interface. If the adapter driver supports
NESL events, the displayed link status shown on the screen should change immediately.
In IEEE 802.3ad mode, an untagged Ethernet II frame type must be loaded before LACP
frames can be transmitted and received. LACP defaults to active for all adapters in the team.
Use the parameter LACP=PASSIVE to change LACP to passive mode for all adapters in the
team. Note that at least one side (system or switch) must be in LACP active mode for it to
work.
Example:
LOAD BASP.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_II NAME=BASP_1_EII VSLOT=1 MODE=802.3AD
LACP=PASSIVE

Loading Frame Types

After one or more adapters are bound to a virtual adapter, additional frame types can only be
loaded in the virtual adapter if the corresponding frame types are also loaded in the bound
