In the Setup Wizard, you are offered three options to configure Link Aggregation for the Management link
from the VTrak A-Class head unit.
See example Setup Wizard menu on page 18.
• The first option is for 10G LAN NAS Client setup. In this case all four 1G LAN ports are aggregated for
maximum throughput for the Management link. This arrangement provides the most bandwidth for the
Management link, and is therefore the most reliable arrangement of the Link Aggregation options.
•
The second option uses both the 10G LAN and 1G LAN ports for NAS Client data. In this arrangement,
only Port 1 is used for the Management link. This setup provides the highest level of performance of the
options, but has less reliability.
•
The third option is for 1G LAN NAS Client setups. In this case the 10G LAN ports are disabled. And ports
1 & 2 are aggregated for the Management link, ports 3 & 4 are aggregated for the NAS Client link. This
setup provides a balance between performance and reliability.
•
The fourth option is also for 1G LAN NAS Client setups. The 10G LAN ports are disabled. Port 1 is used
for the Management link, ports 2, 3 and 4 are aggregated for the NAS Client link. This setup provides
higher performance with less reliability.
