Creating interface groups

You can use Storage Manager to create an interface group—single-mode, static multimode, or dynamic multimode (LACP)—to present a single interface to clients by combining the capabilities of the aggregated network ports.

1. Click Network > Ethernet Ports.
2. Click Create Interface Group.
3. In the Create Interface Group dialog box, specify the following settings:

   • Name of the interface group

   • Node

   • Ports that you want to include in the interface group

   • Usage mode of the ports: single-mode, static multiple, or dynamic multimode (LACP)

   • Network load distribution: IP-based, MAC address-based, sequential, or port

   • Broadcast domain for the interface group, if required

4. Click Create.
