Configuring Bonding Details
Under IP Address Configuration > Bonding Details , configure bonded devices (see
Figure 179 ):
Figure 179: Network Page: Bonding Details
1. If necessary, click the Show link to show the bonding details table.
2. For each available interface ( bond0 , bond1 , and so on), select one or more Ethernet
ports with the same link speed to assign to the bond. Or select Not Bonded to leave a
port unassigned to any bond.
If no ports are assigned to a bond, the bond cannot be configured. That is, settings
cannot be entered for the bond in the
Interface Details or IP Address tables because
no Ethernet ports are assigned to the port.
All ports assigned to the same interface are bonded together into a single logical port.
For example, if you select
bond0 for port eth0 and port eth1 , both ports are bonded
together in the bond0 interface. A bonded interface can contain two or more ports.
I
All ports associated with a bond must have the same link speed (1GbE or
10GbE).
3. For each bonded interface, specify the bonding mode:
I
To maintain network connectivity, the switch connected to the ETERNUS
CS800 must be configured to use the same bonding mode, except bonding
mode "Active-Backup" shall be used. The best time to change the bonding
mode on the switch is during the next reboot of your system, after saving the
new network settings. Changing the bonding mode on the switch before saving
these settings and rebooting may result in the loss of network connectivity to the
system.
●
Round Robin (Mode 0) - This option sends Ethernet frames using the bonded
Ethernet ports with a valid MII link. Frames are sent in a round-robin fashion,
starting with the first slave device and then the rest of the devices. This only applies
to the traffic sent from the ETERNUS CS800. The Ethernet switch needs to
aggregate the ports, so the connected ports are treated as a logical port. The
