Getting Started
Ethernet Link Redundancy (Channel Bonding)
The GV Matrix’s GV Matrix Manager panel opens.
Note:
In the presence of multiple GV Matrix managers, locate yours by
checking the Comments column—the DNAME you chose for your GV Matrix
will be the last element in the comment. See
step 5 under Registering your
GV Matrix to iControl .
2 In the row beside each GV Matrix modular card, select the status of each of the 9 inputs
to the fabric module and 9 outputs from the fabric module from the pulldown lists.
XIO-4901: The available choices depend on whether the MDX option is activated
on the XIO-4901 card.
Changes are applied immediately.
Ethernet Link Redundancy (Channel Bonding)
GV Matrix incorporates ethernet link redundancy as a standard feature.
Channel Bonding uses the controller’s ETH2 port as a redundant active backup for the ETH1
port.
When Channel Bonding is enabled, the two Ethernet interfaces are seen as one:
• ETH2 settings are disabled, and both ports are configured using the ETH1 settings.
• The controller communicates through one port only.
• If the port in use fails, communication is automatically switched over to the backup
port.
