Item Description
Network Teaming
Mode
The NAS server provides two on-board 10/100/1000 or Gigabit
Ethernet ports (LAN1 & LAN2). You can configure the Ethernet
ports using the following operating modes:
Stand Alone: Each LAN1 & LAN2 is configured with a unique IP
address, which is independent to each other.
Fault Tolerance: Uses LAN2 to take over LAN1 if LAN1 fails to
connect to the network which is designed to ensure server
availability to the network.
Load Balancing: Offers increased network bandwidth by
allowing transmission to multiple destination addresses using
both LAN1 and LAN2. If the traffic of one of the LAN ports starts
to get congested, requests are then forwarded to the other LAN
port with more capacity until the traffic of both LAN ports start to
get balanced. Note that only the LAN1 Ethernet port receives
incoming traffic.
Load Balancing also incorporates Fault Tolerance protection.
Link Aggregation: Combines both LAN1 & LAN2 into a single
channel, appearing to use a single MAC address to provide
greater bandwidth. It must be used with a network switch having
the Link Aggregation or Trucking function.
Wake-on-LAN
Allows administrators to remotely power on your NAS server to
perform maintenance task on the server with no need to go to the
server physically.
