Configure Bonded Adapters

Creating a bonded adapter is optional. A bonded adapter combines two Ethernet interfaces 
into a single logical link. Network devices treat the bonded adapter as a single link, which 
increases fault tolerance and provides load sharing. 

The ReadyNAS supports several teaming modes. Both the ReadyNAS and the device with 
which the bonded adapter is linked need to support the same teaming mode. The available 
teaming modes are described in the following table.

IEEE 802.3ad LACP

Creates aggregation groups that use the same speed and duplex settings. Utilizes all 
interfaces in the active aggregator according to the 802.3ad specification. You need a 
switch that supports IEEE 802.3ad dynamic link aggregation.

Active Backup

Only one interface in the bond is active. A different interface becomes active if, and 
only if, the active interface fails. The bond’s MAC address is externally visible on only 
one port to avoid confusing the switch. You can decide which interface is active by 
default.

Transmit Load Balancing Adapter bonding that does not require any special switch support. The outgoing traffic 

is distributed according to the current load (computed relative to the speed) on each 
interface. Incoming traffic is received by the current interface. If the receiving interface 
fails, another interface takes over the MAC address of the failed receiving interface.

Adaptive Load 
Balancing

Includes transmit load balancing plus receive load balancing for IPV4 traffic and does 
not require any special switch support. The receive load balancing is achieved by 
ARP negotiation.

Round-Robin

Transmit packets in sequential order from the first available interface to the next. This 
mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.

XOR

Transmit based on the default simple transmit hash policy. This mode provides load 
balancing and fault tolerance.

Broadcast

Transmit everything on all slave interfaces. This mode provides fault tolerance.
