Link Aggregation
Note: Link aggregation, or IEEE 802.3ad, is a computer networking term which describes using multiple Ethernet network cables/ports in parallel
to increase the link speed beyond the limits of any one single cable or port, and to increase the redundancy for higher reliability. Link aggregation
is an inexpensive way to set up a high-speed backbone network that transfers much more data than any one single port or device can deliver. Link
aggregation also allows the network’s backbone speed to grow incrementally as demand on the network increases, without having to replace
everything and buy new hardware. The ShareCenter DNS-345 provides this feature to better enable the network it’s on. Apply various link aggregation
options that warrant support for your network.
