Network | Bonding | Create

To create a bonding interface on SKUDONET ADC:

1. Go to the NIC > Bonding section.
2. Click the Create bonding button.
3. Enter the Name that easily identifies the bonding interface.
4. Select a Mode you’d like to use for this interface. The available modes include:
   • Round-robin policy: Sequential packet transmission across slave interfaces.
   • Active-backup policy: Single active slave interface; failover upon failure.
   • XOR policy: Traffic distribution based on source and destination MAC addresses.
   • Broadcast policy: Traffic transmission on all slave interfaces simultaneously.
   • IEEE 802.3ad LACP: Aggregation groups based on speed and duplex settings, with all active slave interfaces transmitting traffic.
   • Adaptive transmit load balancing: Traffic distribution based on the current slave interface load.
5. Select the Slave interface from the provided list.
6. Click Apply to create the bonding interface.

Additional notes

• To restore an interface’s MAC address, you must delete the bonding interface that is using it. The bonding driver will then restore the interface’s original MAC address.
• The bonding interface’s MAC address is taken from its first member interface.
• An interface can only be part of one bonding interface.
• Once an interface is part of a bonding interface, it will be locked.
• The bonding mode cannot be changed after the bonding interface is created. However, member interfaces can be added or removed from the bonding interface as needed.
