. There can be only one default gateway.
MTU / Jumbo frame:
MTU
(

Caution
The MTU size of switching hub and HBA on host must be enabled.
Otherwise, the LAN connection can not work properly.
Multi-homed / Trunking / LACP:
The following is the description of multi-homed / trunking / LACP functions.
1.
Multi-homed
: Default mode. Each of iSCSI data port is connected by itself and is
not link aggregation and trunking. This function is also for Multipath functions. Select
this mode can also remove the setting of Trunking / LACP in same time.
2.
Trunking
: defines the use of multiple iSCSI data ports in parallel to increase the link
speed beyond the limits of any single port.
3.
LACP
: The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) is part of IEEE specification
802.3ad that allows bundling several physical ports together to form a single logical
channel. LACP allows a network switch to negotiate an automatic bundle by sending
