TCP/IP Options Option Enable Ethernet Speed/ duplex Primary Interface Setting Description Switch Trunking This mode groups multiple physical Ethernet links to create one logical interface. Provides high fault tolerance and fast performance between switches, routers, and servers. Link Aggregation (802.3ad) Like Switch Trunking, this mode groups multiple physical Ethernet interfaces to create one logical interface, and provides high fault tolerance and fast performance between switches, routers, and servers. Uses Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) to autonegotiate trunk settings. Checked By default, all Ethernet ports are enabled, whether they are used or not. Unchecked Ports other than the Primary Interface (by default Ethernet1) can be disabled by selecting the port and unchecking the Enable Ethernet checkbox. However, a bonded Ethernet port cannot be disabled, nor can a disabled Ethernet port be placed in bonded mode. Note The primary Ethernet port must always be enabled. GuardianOS will not allow you to disable it. Auto The default setting of Auto enables automatic negotiation of the speed and duplex settings based on the physical port connection to a switch. The speed setting establishes the rate of transmission and reception of data. The duplex setting allows the Ethernet port to transmit and receive network packets simultaneously. Note Auto is the only allowable setting for a Gigabit port. Fixed The SnapServer may also be set to fixed speed/duplex setting: 10Mbps/half; 10Mbps/full; 100Mbps/half; 100Mbps/full Note To prevent connectivity problems when changing to a fixed setting, see "Changing from Auto to a Fixed Setting" on page 27. By default, the primary Ethernet port is Ethernet1 and it cannot be disabled. However, the Primary Interface can be changed to a different Ethernet port by selecting the Ethernet port you want to make Primary and putting a check in the Primary Interface box. The Primary Interface is prioritized for various network configuration parameters that apply to the server as a whole (e.g., DNS IP address, hostname, and default gateway). In addition, the IP address of the Primary Interface is preferred to identify the server for various services and circumstances that require a single IP address. 24 SnapServer Administrator Guide
