3.6.4 Aggregating the Network Ports
By default, the console server’s Management LAN network ports can only be accessed using SSH tunneling /port forwarding or
by establishing an IPsec VPN tunnel to the console server.
However, all wired network ports on the console servers can be aggregated by being bridged or bonded.
By default, Interface Aggregation is disabled on the System: IP General Settings menu.
Select Bridge Interfaces or Bond Interfaces
• When bridging is enabled, network traffic is forwarded across all Ethernet ports with no firewall restrictions. All the Ethernet
ports are transparently connected at the data link layer (layer 2), so they do retain their unique MAC addresses.
• With bonding, the network traffic is carried between the ports but they present with one MAC address.
• Both modes remove all Management LAN Interface and Out-of-Band/Failover Interface functions and disable the DHCP
Server.
In aggregation mode, all Ethernet ports are configured collectively using the Network Interface menu.
