Configuring the Balancing Bonding Mode on the MZ520

For details about port bonding, see NIC team configuration in Configuring Port Bonding for the MZ520. The following lists the configuration on each MZ520:

MZ520 (1):

Configure NIC teaming for Port 0 and Port 1 in balancing mode.

The IP address of the NIC team is 192.168.10.10/24 and belongs to VLAN 10.

MZ520 (2):

Configure NIC teaming for Port 0 and Port 1 in balancing mode.

The IP address of the NIC team is 192.168.20.10/24 and belongs to VLAN 20.

MZ520 (3):

Configure NIC teaming for Port 0 and Port 1 in balancing mode.

The IP address of the NIC team is 192.168.10.30/24 and belongs to VLAN 10.

MZ520 (4):

Configure NIC teaming for Port 0 and Port 1 in balancing mode.

The IP address of the NIC team is 192.168.20.40/24 and belongs to VLAN 20.

Set the bonding mode to balance-xor, that is, select a route based on the exclusive-OR operation result of the SMAC and DMAC. Port 0 and Port 1 of the MZ520 are both used to transmit traffic for load sharing. If one link between the CX320 and the MZ520 is disconnected, the MZ520 switches traffic to the other link for transmission. If the CX320 uplink is disconnected, the MZ520 cannot detect the failure and will not switch to another port. As a result, the traffic transmitted over the CX320 channel is interrupted. To ensure end-to-end link protection, you need to configure the monitor link on the CX320.

For details about how to configure the CX320, see Configuring the Active-Backup Bonding Mode on the MZ520.

To ensure reliability, you can also use the cross-chip bonding mode. The configuration is the same as that in Configuring the Active-Backup Bonding Mode on the MZ520.
