Configuring network links
You can configure network links for the ports used to connect the appliance to the Grid Network, the
Client Network, and the Admin Network. You can set the link speed as well as the port and network
bond modes.
Before you begin
If you plan to use Aggregate port bond mode, LACP network bond mode, or VLAN tagging:
•
You have connected the 10-GbE ports on the appliance to switches that can support VLAN and
LACP.
•
If multiple switches are participating in the LACP bond, the switches support multi-chassis link
aggregation groups (MLAG), or equivalent.
•
You understand how to configure the switches to use VLAN, LACP, and MLAG or equivalent.
•
You know the unique VLAN tag to use for each network. This VLAN tag will be added to each
network packet to ensure that network traffic is routed to the correct network.
About this task
This figure shows how the four 10-GbE ports are bonded in fixed port bond mode (default
configuration).
