BOND
Bonding, also known as Link Aggregation, is a process that joins two or more interfaces together. It
improves performance and redundancy by increasing the network throughput and bandwidth. The LAN
Bond can be an unassigned network or a cluster interface.
Use Case
Link Aggregation binds two or more physical ports together to form a LAG (Link Aggregation Group) bundle
that results in higher bandwidth and link redundancy. If one link in the group fails, traffic is automatically
routed through the remaining interfaces.
To create a BOND (LAN):
1. In the Local Network page, click New and select BOND (Link Aggregation).
The New BOND window opens.
2. In the Configuration tab, under BOND configuration, select a minimum of 2 LANs that are
unassigned and disabled.
Note - You cannot select LAN interfaces that have a VLAN assigned to them.
3. Select the Operation mode:
