8.3.2.3 Network Interface Bonding/Teaming (Activation Key necessary)
The function Network Interface Bonding/Teaming (also known as NIC Bonding, NIC Teaming,
Link Bundling, EtherChannel) enables to bundle the physical network interfaces ETH0 and
ETH1 to one logical network interface.
This function is used for the distribution of load as well as to increase fail-safety in computer
networks.
Making settings without profound knowledge of Bonding/Teaming can lead to
serious network problems!
An incorrect configuration can lead to a loss of the network connection so that
the Ethernet access to Time Server 8030HEPTA/GPS is going to be refused.
In this case settings of Time Server 8030HEPTA/GPS must be set back to de-
fault settings!
If function Bonding has been activated, parameters for ETH0 and ETH1 cannot
be changed any more. The parameters are not displayed in the host setting
menu as long as Bonding will be deactivated.
