BASP for Linux
The following options are supported under Linux. For additional
information, see Chapter 4, “Installing BACS on a Linux System” on page
67.
Failover and
Load Balance
SLB mode requires NICE drivers and works with all Ethernet switches
without configuring the switch ports to any special trunking mode. Only
IP traffic is load-balanced in both inbound and outbound directions.
Generic trunking mode does not require NICE and can work with any
NIC; however, it requires the Ethernet switch to support the technology
and be properly configured. This mode is protocol-independent and all
traffic should be load-balanced and fault-tolerant.
802.3ad mode requires NICE drivers and Ethernet switches supporting
IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation. This mode is protocol-independent
and all traffic should be load-balanced and fault-tolerant. All the
physical interfaces in the 802.3ad teams are defaulted to be LACP
active. A 802.3ad team requires all the member NICs support NICE.
All the member NICs, once in the 802.3ad team, will be set with the
same MAC address.
Virtual LAN
(VLAN)
You can add VLANs to a team to allow multiple VLANs with different
VLAN IDs. A virtual device is created for each VLAN added.
