Bonding
Bonding is a function that creates a single virtual network interface from NAS ports in the ETERNUS DX for
communication. By expanding the communication bandwidth, efficient load balancing is realized and
performance is improved. In addition, fault tolerance is improved with port duplication. Even if an error occurs in
a port or cable with the Bonding setting, communication can be continued with other ports.

Bonding cannot be configured by NAS ports in different controllers. Make sure to select NAS ports in the
same controller.
