primary name server IP address (and optionally, a secondary name server IP address).
Syntax

network --setbonding --bondif range 512 - 9000>] Description Configures or updates the bonding mode or sets the maximum transmission unit (MTU) number to use for a DR Series Syntax network --bondif bond1 --setbonding --mode ALB --mtu 1750 Result Bond device operation successful. Please run 'network --restart' for the changes to take effect. NOTE: ALB load balancing does not balance the load properly when the backup servers are on a remote subnet. NOTE: When setting or changing the MTU value, make sure to verify that the Ethernet network switch is capable NOTE: When using the DR Series system CLI --setbonding and --mtu commands, a warning dialog displays with Incorrectly setting the MTU size will cause the DR4000 to not respond. You will 1500 command to resolve the issue. Please verify that the switch is enabled and capable of supporting an MTU size that is equal to or larger than the value being set. Do you want to continue (yes/no) ? CAUTION: If the existing bonding setting is changed, the connection to the DR Series system may be lost unless In computer networking, jumbo frames are Ethernet frames with more than 1500 bytes of payload (but in some cases, 41

This is because ALB uses the address resolution protocol (ARP) and ARP updates are subnet-specific. Because of
this, ARP broadcasts and updates are not sent across the router. Instead, all traffic is sent to the first interface in
the bond. To resolve this ARP-specific issue, make sure that the data source systems reside on the same subnet
as the DR Series system.
of supporting an MTU size that is equal to or larger than the value being set. Any mismatch in MTU values
between the clients, the Ethernet network switch, and the DR Series system will make it inoperable. The
relationship of jumbo frames to MTU is discussed in this topic.
