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
