Load balancing

Load balancing enables the network resources to spread between two or more network

interfaces to optimize the network transfer and enhance the system performance. It

operates on layer 3 protocol (IP, NCP IPX) only. Multicast/broadcast and other

non-routable protocols such as NetBEUI can only be transferred via the main network

port.

Note: To optimize the network transfer speed of the NVR in load balancing mode, use

a managed Ethernet switch and enable 802.3ad (or link aggregation) on the ports of

the switch that the Gigabit LAN ports of the NVR are connected to.
