Activate Port Backup
Switch to a backup port if an error occurs in the active port. The port
backup function is only available if at least one backup port is con-
figured.
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.
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.
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
