Bonding mode

Single: Only the NET1(Eth0) port is effective. NET2(Eth1) is not functional.
Dual LAN:
1. The network parameters of two Ethernet ports are independent. You can attach these two Ethernet
ports to different subnets, e.g., one for a network console or as a uplink; the other to a PoE switch
for connecting IP cameras.
2. The major gateway of the system is NET1(Eth0) as the Ethernet port for a network console.
NET2(Eth1) can be used for connecting to a PoE switch and then to IP cameras.
3. Do not connect IP cameras that come with virtual IPs (cameras' default 169.254.x.x) to NET1(Eth0).
The DRM search will not be able to find cameras that come without a designated IP. Also, if a DHCP
server is not present in a network NET1 is attached to, you will not able to find the NVR using the
IW2 utility.
4. In this mode, do not attach NET1(Eth0) and NET2(Eth1) to the same subnet.
Failover: (system default)
1. The two Ehternet ports share the same IP address. NET1(Eth0) is the default main access route for
the system, while the NET2(Eth1) acts as a standby port. They act as a fault-tolerant pair.
2. In this mode, NET1(Eth0) and NET2(Eth1) ports must be attached to the same subnet.
