Default gateway:
Default gateway can be changed by checking the gray button of LAN port, click
“Become default gateway”. There can be only one default gateway.
•
MTU / Jumbo frame:
MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) size can be enabled by checking the gray button
of LAN port, click “Enable jumbo frame”. Maximum jumbo frame size is 3900 bytes.

Multi-homed / Trunking / LACP:
The following is the description of multi-homed / trunking / LACP functions.
1. Multi-homed: Default mode. Each of iSCSI data port is connected by itself and
is not link aggregation and trunking. This function is also for Multipath functions.
Select this mode can also remove the setting of Trunking / LACP in same time.
2. Trunking: defines the use of multiple iSCSI data ports in parallel to increase the
link speed beyond the limits of any single port.
3. LACP: The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) is part of IEEE
specification 802.3ad that allows bundling several physical ports together to form
a single logical channel. LACP allows a network switch to negotiate an automatic
bundle by sending LACP packets to the peer. The advantages of LACP are (1)
increases the bandwidth. (2) failover when link status fails on a port.
Trunking / LACP setting can be changed by clicking the button “Aggregation”.

(Figure 4.3.2.4: There are 2 iSCSI data ports, select at least two NICs for link aggregation.)
Caution
The MTU size of switching hub and HBA on host must be enabled.
Otherwise, the LAN connection can not work properly.
