SurfRAID TRITON 16Ni, User Manual, Page: 139 / 248

The Team Mode defines the type of operation for the bonded ports.
Team Mode options:
♦
Fault Tolerant (Active_ Backup) - Active_Backup policy: If the active Ethernet port fails,
the standby Ethernet port will become active. This enhances the availability of access to
the SR-TRITON16Ni subsystem.
♦
Load balance and Fault Tolerant (XOR) - XOR policy: Transmit based on source MAC
address XOR with destination MAC address. This selects the same slave for each
destination MAC address. This mode provides load balance and fault tolerance.
♦
Link Aggregation (802.3ad) - 802.3ad policy: Combines multiple physical network links
into a single logical link for increased performance. Transmits and receives on all slaves
in the active aggregator. Pre-requisite: the network switch must support IEEE 802.3ad.
♦
Load Balance (ALB) - ALB (Adaptive load balancing) policy: The receive load balancing
is achieved by ARP negotiation and does not require special switch support.
