ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition User Guide the setting you want. NETGEAR advises that you keep the setting in an Auto-negotiation mode otherwise. Figure 2-3 • MTU. In some network environments, changing the default MTU value can fix throughput problems. NETGEAR advises that you leave the default setting otherwise. Figure 2-4 Teaming/Failover. In this section, you can select the desired bonding mode. First, set the Teaming/Failover on the Ethernet 1 tab page, then configure the other options for Ethernet 1 and Ethernet 2 accordingly. Network teaming provides a way to aggregate the two network interfaces into a single logical teamed, or bonded, interface. The teamed interface allows for fail-over support and can provide for enhanced aggregate performance over a single interface. Figure 2-5 The following bonding options are available. Note that the option you select may affect the ReadyNAS network performance. • Round-Robin: Transmit packets in sequential order from the first available interface to the next. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance. • Active Backup: Only one interface in the bond is active. A different interface becomes active if, and only if, the active interface fails. The bond's MAC address is externally visible on only one port to avoid confusing the switch. Setting Up and Managing Your ReadyNAS Pro 2-3 v1.2, October 2008
