Chapter 9 Interfaces Each field is described in the following table. Table 72 Configuration > Network > Interface > LAG > Add/Edit LABEL DESCRIPTION General Settings Enable Interface Interface Properties Interface Type Select this to enable this interface. Clear this to disable this interface. Select one of the following option depending on the type of network to which the NXC is connected or if you want to additionally manually configure some related settings. internal is for connecting to a local network. Other corresponding configuration options: DHCP server and DHCP relay. The NXC automatically adds default SNAT settings for traffic flowing from this interface to an external interface. external is for connecting to an external network (like the Internet). The NXC automatically adds this interface to the default WAN trunk. Interface Name PVID For general, the rest of the screen's options do not automatically adjust and you must manually configure a policy route to add routing and SNAT settings for the interface. This field is read-only if you are editing the interface. Enter the name of the LAG interface. The format is lagx, where x is 0 - 3. For example, lag0, lag1, and so on. A PVID (Port VLAN ID) is a tag that adds to incoming untagged frames received on a port so that the frames are forwarded to the VLAN group that the tag defines. Zone Description LAG Configuration Mode Enter the PVID for this port (1~4094). Select the zone to which the interface is to belong. You use zones to apply security settings such as security policy, IDP, remote management, anti-virus, and application patrol. Enter a description of this interface. It is not used elsewhere. You can use alphanumeric and characters, and it can be up to 60 characters long. Select a Mode for this LAG interface. Choices are as follows: Link Monitoring • active-backup where only one slave in the LAG interface is active and another slave becomes active only if the active slave fails. • 802.3ad (IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation) where Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) negotiates automatic combining of links and balances the traffic load across the LAG link by sending LACP packets to the directly connected device that also implements LACP. The slaves must have the same speed and duplex settings. • balance-alb (adaptive load balancing) where traffic is distributed according to the current load on each slave by ARP negotiation. Incoming traffic is received by the current slave. If the receiving slave fails, another slave takes over the MAC address of the failed receiving slave. Select from mii or arp. mii monitoring monitors the state of the local interface; it can't tell if the link can transmit or receive packets. Miimom Updelay Downdelay Xmit Hash Policy Rate arp monitoring sends ARP queries and uses the reply to know if the link is up and that traffic is flowing over the link. This field displays for mii Link Monitoring. Set the link check interval in milliseconds that the system polls the Media Independent Interface (MII) to get status. This field displays for mii Link Monitoring. Set the waiting time in milliseconds to confirm the slave interface status is up. This field displays for mii Link Monitoring. Set the waiting time in milliseconds to confirm the slave interface status is down. This field displays in 802.3ad Mode. This field sets the algorithm for slave selection according to the selected TCP/IP layer. This field displays in 802.3ad Mode. Select the preferred LACPDU packet transmission rate (slow/fast) to request from 802.3ad partner. NXC Series User's Guide 170
