-
Layer 3 Bonded mode - In Layer 3 mode, individual network interfaces are placed in an LACP bond where all management IPs are assigned.
-
Hybrid Bonded mode - Both Layer 3 and Layer 2 is supported on the bonded interface. VLANs can be attached to the bonded interface.
-
Hybrid Unbonded Mode - One network interface is removed from the bond and placed in Layer 2 mode. VLANs can then be attached to this interface for Layer 2 connectivity. This preserves Layer 3 connectivity to the server via
bond0, so it can be accessed via the public IP. -
Layer 2 Bonded mode - This mode converts the bonded network interface to pure Layer 2 mode. This means all access to the public Internet is lost, and the host can only be reached by the Serial Over SSH (SOS) console. In this configuration the network bond is intact, so only one network interface will be available for attaching VLANs.
-
Layer 2 Unbonded mode - This mode is similar to the Layer 2 Bonded mode configuration, except the network bond is also dismantled, providing two network interfaces available for VLANs. All access to the public Internet is lost, and the host can only be reached by the Serial Over SSH (SOS) console.
