Configuring the Wireless Array 179
d. Load balance traffic between gig ports — This option provides
trunking, similar to option (b) — Aggregate Traffic from gig1 & gig2
using 802.3ad, but it does not use 802.3ad and it uses a different load
balancing algorithm to determine the outgoing Gigabit port. The
outgoing port used is based on an exclusive OR of the source and
destination MAC address. Like option (b), this mode also provides
load balancing and fault tolerance. See Figure 104 (d).
2. Bond Ports: Select the ports to be members of this bond for the behavior
specified by Bond Mode. By default, Bond1 contains Gig1 and Gig2. You
may also set up a bond with a single port, for example, if you wish to
mirror one Gigabit port to another. In Arrays that have four Gigabit ports,
you also have the option of bonding three or four ports together.
When you check off a port to be a member of a bond, that port is
automatically removed from any other bonds that contain it.
3. Active VLANs: Active VLANs is a read-only field that shows the VLANs
that you have selected to be passed through this port. You may modify
this list by making selections in Set Active VLANs.
4. Set Active VLANs: Create and manage the list of VLANs that are
allowed to be passed through this port. Traffic will be dropped for
VLANs that are not in this list. You may view the complete list of VLANs
whose traffic will be passed in the Active VLANs list, above. The default
setting is to pass All VLANs.
a. To add a VLAN to the list of allowed VLANs, type its name or
number, and click Add. To allow all VLANs (current or future) to be
passed, click the All button.
b. To remove a VLAN from the list of allowed VLANs, type its name or
number, and click Delete. To remove all VLANs from the Active
VLANs list, click None.
c. To allow only the set of currently defined VLANs (see “VLANs” on
page 199) to be passed, click the Current button. Essentially, this
“fixes” the Active VLANs list to contain the Array’s currently defined
VLANs, and only this set, until you make explicit changes to the
