Mode=1 (Default)
: Use this mode to direct all network traffic to one port. Remaining ports
act as a backup, if the designated port fails. Use this option if only a few ports exist in
the network, and the primary intent is to avoid configuration conflicts.
•
Mode=4 (Recommended)
: Use this option to balance network traffic across multiple ports.
To use this option, an Ethernet switch configuration is required.
•
Mode=6 (Optional)
: Use this option to balance network traffic across all ports and cause
traffic to a given client to be directed to one port. This option is recommended if the switch
cannot be configured.
