Team Mode
Details of the functions and configurations required for each online mode
provided by the DNS-3200 are given below.
Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT)
Function: AFT provides automated residue to the network interface card
as a fault tolerance. From the two network ports connected to the switch
or hub at the same time, one is the primary network for normal team, and
the other is the backup and is usually not in the “On” state. If the primary
online adapter card develops a problem, the backup network will start and
take over the team.
Network configuration:
1.
The network port must be connected to the same network switch.
2.
The switch must have the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) in the
“Off” state.
3.
All switches are available for support.
