NIC bonding provides a redundant path for the management and application traffic by combining two or more network interfaces into a single logical interface. NIC bonding is a Red Hat feature, not an Avaya feature. Customers wishing to configure NIC bonding on the ASP 130 are required to use Avaya’s instructions.
Note:
Only the following bond configuration modes are supported within the ASP 130 solution:
Active/Backup: Only available when using 1GB ports.
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP): Only available when using 10/25 GB ports.
10/25GB Ports are only available on the Dell R660xs profiles A3-A31.
Note:
This guide uses P[n] and NIC[n] to refer to the same network interface. For example, P1 is the same as NIC 1.
