Port Trunking - Buffalo TeraStation 7000 User Manual

9
Reboot your TeraStation. Settings are applied after the TeraStation restarts.
Notes:
• When the TeraStation is rebooted after an automatic shut down due to a power outage or other power supply
problem, verify that the power supply has been restored. If the TeraStation is turned on while it is still running on
the UPS and without the power supply restored, automatic shutdown is not performed, even after the specified
time has elapsed.
• If the power supply from the UPS to the TeraStation is stopped and restarted when UPS recovery is enabled, the
TeraStation is automatically restarted.

Port Trunking

The multiple Ethernet ports on the TeraStation can provide redundancy and reliability. Several port trunking modes are
available:
Trunking Mode
Disabled
Round-robin (*1)
Active-backup
XOR (*1)
Broadcast
Dynamic link aggregation (*2)
TLB
ALB
*1 An intelligent switch that supports EtherChannel or other port trunking is required. Configure the LAN ports on the
switch for port trunking first.
*2 An intelligent switch that supports IEEE 802.3ad is required. Configure LACP in the switch first.
Port Trunking
1
Use an Ethernet cable to connect the hub LAN port and TeraStation LAN port 1.
Notes:
• Do not connect the second Ethernet cable to the TeraStation yet.
• If using an intelligent switch, connect to a LAN port that was set for port trunking.
