Adaptive Load Balancing | Iomega Network Device guide

Adaptive Load Balancing

The default setting for your NIC configuration is Team with Adaptive Load Balancing. This design ensures optimum performance in NIC failover support, when both network ports are connected to the same subnet.

However, if you find it necessary to change your configuration to access the DataSafe NAS from more than one subnet, the NIC configuration can be changed to have each NIC port connected to a different subnet. Please note that if you change the NIC configuration, the NIC failover feature is not provided.

Refer to the following representation of the Network Component Tree, which appears on the left side of the PROSet dialog box.
