11.4 Ethernet Link Redundancy
It is possible to enable link redundancy (also known as bonding) on the management Ethernet
interfaces.
Link redundancy is used to eliminate downtime as much as possible in the system setup. This
increases the reliability of the system.
When link redundancy is enabled, two interfaces will behave as one virtual interface (interface
bonding): only one of the two physical interfaces is active at a time.
When the link state of the active interface goes down (physically broken connection), the other
interface takes over the operation.
Refer to the following figures: Note that the same principle is used for the data interfaces.
