Bond*
DiskStation supports multi-LAN, allowing you to combine those LAN interfaces using the Link Aggregation technology. After your LAN interfaces are combined with Link Aggregation interface, you will see a new interface named Bond created on the Network Interface list, which could be configured just as you would with other interfaces (such as LAN or PPPoE).
To combine multiple LANs with Link Aggregation:
Click the Create button and follow the wizard to complete the setup.
Note:
-
With Link Aggregation enabled, trunking and network fault tolerances are supported.
-
All LAN cables must reside on the same switch for Link Aggregation to take effect.
Mode descriptions:
- IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic Link Aggregation: IEEE 802.3ad is the standard for most Link Aggregation implementations. A switch with 802.3ad support is required to use in this mode.
- Network Fault Tolerance only: If the LAN 1 port becomes unavailable, the system will use LAN 2 to provide service. You can select this option if your switch does not support IEEE 802.3ad.
