Table 4-13 Ethernet card parameters description
Parameter Description
Ethernet Mode
The default setting is single NIC.
Single NIC: Two net cards are used independently. Request HTTP, RTSP
and other services of the device through net card 1 or net card 2. You
need to configure one default net card (net card 1 by default), to
request network services launched by the device, including DHCP,
Email and FTP. During network status detection, the network is
deemed to be disconnected if one net card is disconnected.
Fault tolerance: All Ethernet cards use one IP address, and only one
Ethernet card works under normal conditions. If working Ethernet card
breaks down, the other Ethernet card is enabled automatically to
ensure smooth network. It is deemed that the network is disconnected
only when both Ethernet cards are disconnected during network
status check. Both Ethernet cards need to be in the same LAN.
Load balance: All Ethernet cards use one IP address, and all of them
work together to bear network load; the bound network throughputs
are basically the same. If one Ethernet card breaks down, the other
Ethernet card works normally. It is deemed that the network is
disconnected only when both Ethernet cards are disconnected during
network status check. Both Ethernet cards need to be in the same LAN.
Link aggregation: The system uses NIC bonding to realize
communication function. All bonded NICs are working together and
bearing the network load. The system allocates the corresponding
ports to the specified switches according to the port load setting.
Once one port link malfunctions, the system stops sending out data
from current port. The system can calculate the new load and specify
the new port(s) to send out data. The system calculates again to
specify the port(s) once the malfunction port becomes available.
Single NIC device does not support Ethernet mode selection. The actual
device shall prevail.
