Description
Switch Required
Balance-rr
(Round-Robin)
Round-Robin mode is good for general purpose
load balancing between two Ethernet
interfaces. This mode transmits packets in
sequential order from the first available slave
through the last. Balance-rr provides load
balancing and fault tolerance.
Supports static
trunking. Make sure
static trunking is
enabled on the
switch.
Active Backup
Active Backup uses only one Ethernet interface.
It switches to the second Ethernet interface if
the first Ethernet interface does not work
properly. Only one interface in the bond is
active. The bond's MAC address is only visible
externally on one port (network adapter) to
avoid confusing the switch. Active Backup mode
provides fault tolerance.
