18. o Point network performance The performance advantage will show when there are multiple network clients accessing the NAS And the performance increased is not linear actually none of the bonding types will provide linear performance increase 2 All NIC Ports in the same bonding must hook to the same network switch They can not be connected to different switches Bond Type 802 3ad Dynamic Link Aggregation It creates aggregation groups that share the same speed and duplex settings Actually there are two types of 802 3ad with or without LACP LACP Link Aggregation Control Protocol The NASDirector supports ONLY the 802 3ad with LACP This mode requires a switch that also supports IEEE 802 3ad with LACP and the switch needs to be configured on the specific ports that the NIC ports are connected to Setting the Bonding Select the NIC Ports intended to be bond together then click Create button to create the bonding Rules for Bonding The IP of the bond is always the first NIC Port in the Bond For example in the above Bonding page screen bonding the ethO and eth1 will result in the bondO with eth0O s IP address bondO IP ethO IP 192 168 2 21 Multiple bonds are supported as long as each bond is in a different network For example bondO 192 168 1 100 and bond1 192 168 2 100 are valid setting But bondO 192 168 1 100 and bond1 192 168 1 200 are not valid setting Aberdeen LLC AberNAS LX
