  • Page 51 Configuration of Network Interfaces Failover (Default) Failover refers to the capability of switching over the network transfer port to the redundant port automatically when the primary one fails due to hardware or connection error to avoid network disconnection. When the primary network port resumes to work, the network transfer will be switched back to that port automatically.
  • Page 52 Load balancing Load balancing enables the network resources to spread between two or more network interfaces to optimize network transfer and enhance system performance. It operates on layer 3 protocol (IP, NCP IPX) only. Multicast/ broadcast and other non-routable protocols, e.g. NetBEUI, can only be transferred via the main network port.
  • Page 53 Standalone The standalone option allows you to assign different IP settings for each network port. The VioStor can be accessed by different workgroups in two different subnets. However, when this function is enabled, failover does not work. You can only enable DHCP server for the primary network port (LAN 1).
  • Page 54 Network Transfer Rate You can select auto-negotiation (default), 1000 Mbps, or 100 Mbps. It is recommended to use the default setting that the server will determine network speed automatically. Obtain IP address settings automatically via DHCP If your network supports DHCP, VioStor will use DHCP protocol to retrieve the IP address and related information automatically.
