Load balancing
Load balancing enables the network resources to spread between two or more
network interfaces to optimize network transfer and enhance system
performance. It operates on layer 3 protocol (IP, NCP IPX) only. Multicast/
broadcast and other non-routable protocols, e.g. NetBEUI, can only be
transferred via the main network port.
Note: To optimize the network transfer speed of the VioStor in load balancing
mode, please use a managed Ethernet switch and enable 802.3ad (or link
aggregation) on the ports of the switch that the Giga LAN ports of the VioStor
are connected to.
