Configure Bonded Adapters
Creating a bonded adapter is optional. A bonded adapter combines two Ethernet interfaces
into a single logical link. Network devices treat the bonded adapter as a single link, which
increases fault tolerance and provides load sharing.
Note: Bonding is available only on ReadyNAS systems with two or more
Ethernet interfaces.
Teaming Modes
The ReadyNAS supports several teaming modes. Both the ReadyNAS and the device with
which the bonded adapter is linked must support the same teaming mode. The available
teaming modes are described in the following table.
Table 9. Teaming mode descriptions
Teaming Mode Description
IEEE 802.3ad LACP Creates aggregation groups that use the same speed and duplex settings.
Utilizes all interfaces in the active aggregator according to the 802.3ad
specification.
You need a switch that supports IEEE 802.3ad dynamic link
aggregation.
Active Backup Only one interface in the bond is active. A different interface becomes active if,
and only if, the active interface fails.
The bond’s MAC address is externally
visible on only one port to avoid confusing the switch. You can decide which
interface is active by default.
