It includes: single multiple-address, fault tolerance, load
balance.
Multiple-address: eth1/eth2 operates separately. You can
use the services such as HTTP, RTP service via eth1/eth2.
Usually you need to set one default card (default setup is
eth1) to request the auto network service from the
device-end such as DHCP, email, FTP and etc. In
multiple-address mode, system network status is shown as
offline once one card is offline.
Fault-tolerance: In this mode, device uses bond0 to
communicate with the external devices. You can focus on
one host IP address. At the same time, you need to set one
master card. Usually there is only one running card (master
card).System can enable alternate card when the master
card is malfunction. The system is shown as offline once all
cards are offline. Please note all cards shall be in the same
LAN.
Load balance: In this mode, device uses bond0 to
communicate with the external device. The all cards are
working now and bearing the network load. Their network
load are general the same. The system is shown as offline
once all cards are offline. Please note all cards shall be in
the same LAN.
There are two modes: static mode and the DHCP mode.
The IP/submask/gateway are null when you select the
DHCP mode to auto search the IP.
If you select the static mode, you need to set the
IP/submask/gateway manually.
If you select the DHCP mode, you can view the
IP/submask/gateway from the DHCP.
If you switch from the DHCP mode to the static mode, you
need to reset the IP parameters.
Besides, IP/submask/gateway and DHCP are read-only
when the PPPoE dial is OK.
