Snap Server Administrator Guide

Failover

This mode uses the first Ethernet port as the primary network

interface and the second Ethernet port is held in reserve as the

backup interface. Redundant network interfaces ensure that an

active port is available at all times. If the primary port

(Ethernet1) fails due to a hardware or cable problem, the

secondary port (Ethernet2) assumes its network identity. The

two ports should be connected to different switches (though

this is not required).

Note

Failover mode does not provide switch fault tolerance.

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.

Enable

Ethernet

Checked

By default, both Ethernet ports are enabled, whether they are

used or not.

Unchecked

If the Ethernet2 port is not being used, it 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

Ethernet1 must always be enabled. GuardianOS will not

allow you to disable it.

Speed/

duplex

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 Snap Server 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 24.
