In LACP mode, each pair of ports forms a logical channel between the controller and the
network, allowing for higher throughput. If one port fails, the other port provides a failover
connection. LACP mode requires version 1.7 or later of the StorageGRID Webscale Appliance
Installer.
•
Aggregate Port Configuration – Starting with version 1.7 of the StorageGRID Webscale
Appliance Installer, you can specify that all four ports be grouped in a single LACP bond,
allowing all ports to be used for Grid network and Client network traffic. Aggregate Port
Configuration significantly increases the throughout for each network and provides additional
failover paths. When using Aggregate Port Configuration, you must specify a unique VLAN ID
for each network. This VLAN ID will be added to each network packet to ensure that network
traffic is routed to the correct network.
For more information on configuring these ports, see the instructions for cabling the appliance and
the appropriate
StorageGRID Webscale Software Installation Guide.
