For Smart Load Balancing, one NIC can be set as a standby member. If all the primary members fail, the
same MAC address or IP address is taken over to the standby member to continue the communication
(fail-over). When using a standby member for Smart Load Balancing, Auto-Fallback mode or Auto-fall
back disable mode can be set.
Smart Load Balancing (Auto-Fallback mode)
In this mode, separate multiple NICs into primary members (operation) and standby members (standby)
to operate.
Usually, a primary member is active for communicating. A standby member is inactive and does not
perform data communication.
If a link abnormality is detected in a primary member, a standby member becomes active (fail-over) to
continue communication.
