IP address for NIC bonds

Allocate a static IP address for the logical bond interface (bond0). You cannot use DHCP for the
bond IP.

NIC bonding and speed, duplex, frame size, and flow control settings

These settings are controlled on the TCP/IP and TCP Status tabs of the Network configuration
category. If you change these settings, you must ensure that both sides of the NIC cable are
configured in the same manner. For example, if the storage system is set for Auto/Auto, the switch
must be set the same. See for more information.
