Section 4 - Conguration
Port Bonding Settings
Port Bonding improves performance and reliability and makes use of the two LAN cards present in the DNS-340L. By
connecting two cables connected to your router simultaneously the DNS-340L can be set to bond both connections to
either distribute the bandwidth load, or have one LAN port serve as a backup to the main LAN port. To enable Port Bonding
select the Enable option, and choose either Round Robin, Active Backup, Balance-XOR, Broadcast, 802.3ad, Adaptive
Transmit Load Balancing, or Adaptive Load Balancing from the option modes. The dierent modes are explained below;
This is a load balancing technique that distributes load in a circular
fashion, thereby creating an evenly distributed load.
Uses only one active slave to transmit packets.
This mode balances outgoing trac across the active ports based on
hashed protocol header information and accepts incoming trac from
any active port.
When ports are congured with broadcast mode, all slave ports transmits
the same packets to the destination that way providing fault tolerance.
Creates aggregation groups that share the same speed and duplex
settings. It is also called Link Aggregation Control Protocol. And it requires
special switch support.
Channel bonding that does not require any special switch support.
Includes adaptive transmit load balancing plus receive load balancing
for IPV4 trac and does not require any special switch support.
