If you plan to use Aggregate port bond mode, LACP network bond mode, or VLAN tagging:
• You have connected the 10/25-GbE ports on the appliance to switches that can support VLAN
and LACP.
• If multiple switches are participating in the LACP bond, the switches support multi-chassis link
aggregation groups (MLAG), or equivalent.
• You understand how to configure the switches to use VLAN, LACP, and MLAG or equivalent.
• You know the unique VLAN tag to use for each network. This VLAN tag will be added to each
network packet to ensure that network traffic is routed to the correct network.
About this task
This figure shows how the four 10/25-GbE ports are bonded in fixed port bond mode (default
configuration).
Callout
Which ports are bonded
C Ports 1 and 3 are bonded together for the Client Network, if this network is used.
G Ports 2 and 4 are bonded together for the Grid Network.
This figure shows how the four 10/25-GbE ports are bonded in aggregate port bond mode.
Callout
Which ports are bonded
1 All four ports are grouped in a single LACP bond, allowing all ports to be used for Grid
Network and Client Network traffic.
The table summarizes the options for configuring the four 10/25-GbE ports. The default settings are
shown in bold. You only need to configure the settings on the Link Configuration page if you want to
use a non-default setting.
