Link Aggregation

Link aggregation is the combining (aggregating) of multiple network connections in parallel by any of several methods, in order to increase network throughput or provide redundancy of the network links.

Link aggregation is optional, if you want to setup link aggregation group, your Vinchin backup server or node must have multiple network interfaces available.

To configure link aggregation, go to System > System Settings > Network Settings page.

Under the Link Aggregation tab, in the Backup Node dropdown list, you should select a node on which you wish to setup link aggregation.

There are 4 aggregation mode: Round-robin(balance-rr), Active-backup (active-backup), Dynamic link aggregation(802.3ad, LACP) and Adaptive load balancing (balance-alb). Please select the desired mode which suits your requirement.

In Network Interface dropdown list, select the network interfaces which you wish to add to the link aggregation group.

Complete the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and DNS server settings, then click on OK, the network services will restart, please be patient to wait the link aggregation complete.
