• When using LACP, ensure that all network switches are LACP-enabled.
Depending on the switch’s capabilities and configuration, the port LACP settings may be either
active or passive. Active mode is recommended, because only aggregated traffic is expected
from the HP VMA SAN Gateway. For more information, see the HP VMA SAN Gateway User’s
Guide.
Interface Bonding Example
There are many types of bonding modes available, some of which require changing network switch
settings. See the HP VMA SAN Gateway User’s Guide for more information on these modes.
The following example demonstrates how to configure a round-robin balance mode for a bonded
interface that does not require any switch changes. This creates a round-robin bond (eth0), that
effectively combines the eth1 and eth2 interfaces with eth0 virtual IP address (VIP).
To configure a round-robin balance mode interface bond, do the following:
1. Launch a terminal window, enter the host name or IP address of the master SAN Gateway
node in the appropriate text field, and open.
The following screenshot is an example of a PuTTY launch dialog.
A terminal window appears.
