2.
Click
in Basic Network Interface list.
3.
Enter the new
IP Address
and
Subnet Mask
and select
MTU
in dropdown list.
MTU
(Maximum Transmission Unit): Select MTU as larger than 1500 byte for the purpose of improving
transmission performance.
4.
Click
OK
to save the settings.
8.1.2
Binding Network Interfaces
Purpose:
When transmitting data via a single data network interface, once the data network interface fails, data
transmission stops. By bonding multiple data network interfaces into one, they can share one IP address, thus to
balance network load and create redundant links. When transmitting data via a bound network interface, once a
data network interface fails, other data network interfaces take over the transmission task.
The management network interface does not support bond.
The IP addresss of bound network interface is the same as the first data network interface.
