configured.
By default, Activate Port Backup is selected.
Linkdown propagation
Send a linkdown event if both the active ports and the backup ports fail.
The linkdown event triggers a failover process on the server blade if con-
figured accordingly.
If you select Linkdown propagation, the ports of the related server
blades receive a linkdown event if a problem occurs. If the LAN drivers in
the operating system of the server blade are configured accordingly, this
linkdown event then triggers a failover on the second LAN port. A link-
down event is then triggered if all ports configured as active and all ports
configured as backup ports of an uplink set fail. This allows the LAN con-
nection to remain intact.
In order for the failover process in the server blade to work from LAN port
1 to LAN port 2, a LAN team must have been configured on the server
blade and the network on the second IBP module must have been con-
figured accordingly.
By default, Linkdown propagation is selected.
Enable LACP
You activate the LACP protocol via Enable LACP.
Isolate mode
You activate the isolate mode via Isolate mode. With isolate mode acti-
vated, server blades in the same chassis that use the same network can-
not communicate with each other, but only with an external device
though the uplinks.
This checkbox is not shown if the connection blade does not support iso-
late mode or if VLAN networks are created.
Link Speed
By selecting a Link Speed, you can select the transmission speed. If
auto negotiation is not selected on the external switch, configure this
value if a problem occurs using the drop-down menu according to the set-
tings on the external switch. The following values are available:
