15.3 Data Ethernet Link Redundancy
It is possible to enable link redundancy (also known as bonding) on the management and data
Ethernet interfaces. Link redundancy is used to eliminate downtime as much as possible in the
system setup. This to increase the reliability of the system.
When Ethernet interface redundancy is enabled, two interfaces behave as one virtual interface (bond
interface): 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.
