The Ethernet Link Redundancy option uses channel bonding between the two rear panel
ethernet interfaces to achieve redundancy (Active Backup mode) or increased throughput
(Round Robin mode).
Round-Robin: This mode provides load balancing, fault tolerance and increased
throughput. Transmissions are received and sent out sequentially on each bonded slave
interface beginning with the first one available. This mode requires that the remote
equipment (host or switch) be configured to aggregate traffic over several ports (Trunk,
EtherChannel, etc).
