Transmit Load Balancing
- Outgoing traffic is distributed
depending on the current load on each secondary interface.
Incoming traffic is received by the current secondary inter-
face. If the receiving secondary fails, another secondary
takes over the MAC address of the failed secondary.
Adaptive Load Balancing
- Includes transmit load bal-
ancing (tlb) and receive load balancing (rlb) for IPv4 traffic
and does not require any special switch support.
Poll Interval The poll interval specifies the MII link monitoring frequency in
milliseconds. This determines how often the link state of each
secondary is inspected for link failures. A value of zero dis-
ables MII link monitoring.
Network Interface
Selection
Click the check box of each network interface you want to
include in the bridge.
Primary Interface Select the interface that is to be used for selecting the MAC
address of the aggregate. The new bond inherits the MAC
address of the primary interface. On creation, any Network
Connections which exist on the Primary Interface will be
attached to the Bond/Bridge after it is initially created. When a
Bond/Bridge is deleted, any Network Connections which exist
on the aggregate interface are handed over to the Primary
Interface.
Active
Connections
When the Primary Interface is created, the connections inher-
ited by the new bond are listed here. When edited, Active Con-
nections on the aggregate will not be updated if the primary
interface is changed.
Click to edit the details of an existing interface. Updating a
bridge will temporarily interrupt network activity on the inter-
face when you click the
Update
button.
