Re: Bonding Two Ethernet Ports Reporting 1gbps
Newbie question here
Where do you get to create Link agrregation/bonding? I looked all over TOS - CtrPnl, Network, Interface, but don't see any option. Interface tab shows LAN 1 and LAN 2 but no option to aggregate
I just got a F2-423 running TOS 5.1 and am trying to bond the 2.5G ports
Thx

P.S. I assume 803.2ad will give me the highest throughput, assuming the switch can support?

Does not increase the bandwidth for a single conversation

Re: Bonding Two Ethernet Ports Reporting 1gbps
LOL...Ok, so I'll need a fatter pipe
Re: Bonding Two Ethernet Ports Reporting 1gbps
So which setting should I use to achieve 5GB bandwidth?
According to TM "Link Aggregation provides a network bandwidth up to 5 Gb, thus providing a cost-effective solution for multi-user and high-concurrent file access".

Re: Bonding Two Ethernet Ports Reporting 1gbps
I see that selecting Balance-xor increases the bond to 5000 Mbps (at least on paper)...will check it out for a while and see if there is any difference
Re: Bonding Two Ethernet Ports Reporting 1gbps
To use your analogy, Fatter pipes equates to more Speed per individual connection. More pipes equates to more individual connections at the given speed.
Aggregated links do not increase the individual max theoretical conversation speed. It only increases the maximum theoretical bandwidth (ie number of conversations)
I use the first option simply because my switches don't support 802.3ad. (but I can run the link through different switches to provide redundancy. The quote actually refers to Link aggregation in general but you enquired about a specific, so I quoted a document that related to that standard. The different methods just determine how the link is created/managed/controlled. So you will see a Bandwidth of 5Gbps, but you will never see an individual transfer Speed of more than 2.5Gbps (in your case).
