Table 8-5 Aggregation mode description
Aggregation mode Description
Load balance
The Device bonds several NICs at the same time and use one IP address
to communicate with other devices. The bonded NICs are working
together to bear the network load.
The load balance mode adds the network throughput data amount and
enhances network flexibility and availability. In this mode, the network
is offline when all NICs break down.
Fault tolerance
The Device bonds several NICs and use one NIC as the main card and
the rest as standby. Usually, only the main NIC card is working. The
other standby cards automatically take over the job when the main
card breaks down.
This mode enhances NIC reliability. In this mode, the network is offline
when all NICs break down.
Link aggregation
The Device bonds several NICs and all NICs are working together to
share the network load. The system allocates data to each NIC
according to your allocation strategy. Once the system detects that one
NIC breaks down, it stops sending data through this NIC, and transmits
the data among the rest NICs. The system calculates transmission data
again after the malfunctioning NIC resumes work.
In this mode, the network is offline when all bonded NICs break down.
Make sure that the switch supports link aggregation and you have
configured the link aggregation mode.
