SAS / SATA II NAS System
User’s Manual

The Team Mode defines the type of operation for the bonded ports.
Team Mode options:
 Fault Tolerant (Active_ Backup) - Active_Backup policy: If the active
Ethernet port fails, the standby Ethernet port will become active. This
enhances the availability of access to the NAS.
 Load balance and Fault Tolerant (XOR) - XOR policy: Transmit based on
source MAC address XOR with destination MAC address. This selects the same
slave for each destination MAC address. This mode provides load balance and
fault tolerance.
 Link Aggregation (802.3ad) - 802.3ad policy: Combines multiple physical
network links into a single logical link for increased performance. Transmits
and receives on all slaves in the active aggregator. Pre-requisite: the network
switch must support IEEE 802.3ad.
 Load Balance (ALB) - ALB (Adaptive load balancing) policy: The receive load
balancing is achieved by ARP negotiation and does not require special switch
support.
