Two Ethernet cables can be used to establish two separate communication routes providing LAN port redundancy and 
improving communication reliability. 
The TeraStation supports the following port trunking modes.

Trunking Mode

Characteristics

Round robin

Network packets are transmitted in sequential order from the first 

available NIC slave through the last.

Active-backup

Only one NIC slave in the bond is active. A different slave becomes 

active if and only if the active slave fails.

XOR*

Transmits network packets based on [(source MAC address XOR’d 

with destination MAC address) modulo NIC slave count]. This selects 

the same NIC slave for each destination MAC address.

Broadcast

Transmits network packets on all slave network interfaces.

Dynamic link aggregation**

Creates aggregation groups that share the same speed and duplex 

settings. Utilizes all slave network interfaces in the active aggregator 

group according to the 802.3ad specification.

TLB

The outgoing network packet traffic is distributed according to the 

current load (relative to the speed) on each network interface slave.

ALB

Includes both balance-tlb and rlb by ARP negotiation.

*A separate intelligent switch that supports EtherChannel or other port trunking is required. Configure two LAN ports 
on the switch for port trunking first. 
**A separate intelligent switch that supports IEEE 802.3ad is required. Configure LACP in the switch first.

If the TeraStation is being used as an iSCSI hard drive and you need to change the settings, navigate to Drives - iSCSI in 
Settings and move the iSCSI switch to the 

 position temporarily.

Use an Ethernet cable to connect the hub LAN port and TeraStation LAN port 1.

Notes: 
•  Do not connect the second Ethernet cable to the TeraStation yet.
•  If using an intelligent switch, connect to a LAN port that was set for port trunking.

In Settings, click Network.

Click 

 to the right of “Port Trunking”.

Choose a port trunking link.

Select the port that will be used, select the port trunking mode, and click Change port trunking.
