Duplex LAN Configuration

The server builds duplex LAN configuration by using onboard and additional LAN adapters.

2.3.1 Network Configuration

This server needs to be run with duplex LAN configuration.
For duplicating LAN, the mode for bonding is used.
The default setting of bonding is active-backup(mode=1).
LAN duplication is achieved by pairing network interfaces of PCI slots in CPU/IO module 0 and network
interfaces in the same PCI slots in CPU/IO module 1.
The network interface names are based on the naming convention as described in the table below.
* R320c-E4 model does not have 10G LAN connector, PCI slot 3, and PCI slot 4.

allocated by vndctl command described later. The slot numbers are allocated one-to-one to
