1. Neither interface is preferred
NOTE: If the bonded NIC experiences rapid, sequential Ethernet failures, the CMC may display
the storage system as failed (flashing red) and access to data on that storage system fails. However,
as soon as the Ethernet connection is reestablished, the storage system and the CMC display the
correct information.
Deleting a NIC bond
When you delete an Active-Passive bond, the preferred interface assumes the IP address and
configuration of the deleted logical interface. The other NIC is disabled, and its IP address is set
to 0.0.0.0.
When you delete either a Link Aggregation Dynamic Mode or an Adaptive Load Balancing bond,
one of the active interfaces in the bond retains the IP address of the deleted logical interface. The
other NIC is disabled, and its IP address is set to 0.0.0.0.
