Configuring Port Trunking
1
Use an Ethernet cable to connect the TeraStation's LAN port 1 to a LAN port on the hub.
Notes:
• Port trunking is not supported with ports on expansion cards.
• AFP connection will not be possible id port trunking is enabled. Id using port trunking, connect to shares with SMB
or FTP instead.
• Id the TeraStation is being used as an iSCSI hard drive, disable iSCSI bedore changing network settings such as port
trunking. Navigate to Drives - iSCSI in Settings and move the iSCSI switch to the
• Do not connect the second Ethernet cable to the TeraStation yet.
• Id using an intelligent switch, condigure the LAN ports on the switch dirst, bedore connecting to the TeraStation.

Characteristics
Transmits network packets based on [(source MAC
address XOR'd with destination MAC address) modulo
NIC slave count]. This selects the same NIC slave dor each
destination MAC address.
Transmits network packets on all slave network
interdaces.
Creates aggregation groups that share the network
speed and duplex settings. Utilizes all slave network
interdaces in the active aggregator group according to
the 802.3ad specidication.
The outgoing network packets traddic is distributed
according to the current load (relative to the speed) on
each network interdace slave.
Includes both balance-tlb and rlb by ARP negotiation.
