NIC Teaming for Network Resiliency
To further increase network resilience, it is recommended to use network interface controller (NIC) teaming
with the AI NVR network connections. This can be set up using the Server Management page.
Sugerencia:
On AI NVR Premium and Premium+, either NIC teaming or separate VLANs would be required
l
to achieve the maximum available throughput.
Since the AI NVR Value only has two network ports, if NIC teaming is used, you will no longer
l
be able to separate recording and playback traffic with IP subnets.
The AI NVR supports three types of NIC teaming. For more information, see
NIC Teaming Modes
The AI NVR supports three types of NIC teaming: Active Backup, Dynamic Link Aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad),
and Adaptive Load Balancing.
Active Backup
In this mode, one port out of the teamed network ports is designated as the primary port, and the others are
set as the backup ports. While the primary network port is functioning properly, the backup ports will not be
used. In the event that the primary network port fails, the backup network ports will take over. Both network
ports work as unique virtual network interfaces with a single mac address visible to other network devices.
Dynamic Link Aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad)
In this mode, all of the teamed network ports will be aggregated into a single connection that has a combined
bandwidth equal to the sum of all the teamed port's individual bandwidth. All teamed network ports will be
utilized simultaneously while in this mode and all devices using the teamed ports will operate at the same
speed and duplex. If one network port were to fail, then all traffic will be forced through the remaining
network ports and your bandwidth will be reduced to the sum of the remaining ports' bandwidth.
Nota: This mode requires a switch that can support IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic Link Aggregation, and
will require some setup on that switch.
