Clicking the menu button (▼) displays the options for each LAN:
iSCSI Bonding Settings
The default mode of each iSCSI data port is that it is individually connected (multi-homed)
without any link aggregation and trunking. This function is also for Multipath functions.
Trunking and LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) settings can be set or changed by
selecting the iSCSI Bonding Settings menu option from the drop-down list. Select the
bonding method and its options:
• Trunking – Configures multiple iSCSI data ports to act in parallel to increase the link
speed beyond the limits of any single port.
• LACP – This is part of the IEEE specification 802.3ad that allows several physical
ports to be bundled together to form a single logical channel. This increases the
bandwidth and provides automatic failover when link status fails on a port.
NOTE: You must select at least two iSCSI NICs for iSCSI bonding to work.
To remove a Trunking or LACP setting, click the menu button (▼) for the specific LAN port
and select Delete Link Aggregation. Click OK at the confirmation message.
For example, LAN1 and LAN2 are set as Trunking mode. LAN3 and LAN4 are set as LACP
mode.
NOTE: After removing the bonding, the secondary LAN is reset to use a static IP address but no
10400310-003 01/2013
address is configured. You must manually reset the address.
