Fixed port bond mode is the default configuration for the 10/25-GbE ports.
Callout | Which ports are bonded |
---|---|
C | Ports 1 and 3 are bonded together for the Client Network, if this network is used. |
G | Ports 2 and 4 are bonded together for the Grid Network. |
In active-backup mode (default), only one port is active at a time. If the active port fails, its backup port automatically provides a failover connection. Port 4 provides a backup path for port 2 (Grid Network), and port 3 provides a backup path for port 1 (Client Network).
In LACP mode, each pair of ports forms a logical channel between the controller and the network, allowing for higher throughput. If one port fails, the other port provides a failover connection. Throughput is reduced, but connectivity is not impacted.
