How can I setup an NTP Bonding Group for my Network?



High availability bonding is an important feature available in Meinberg LANTIME systems. It assures the constant availability of an NTP server, even if the LAN port responsible for NTP traffic fails or the network infrastructure this port is connected to fails. It is reasonable to realize a network with two independent switches to provide redundancy also for the network infrastructure. Bonding is achieved by a physical connection of two LAN ports together and proper assignment of both ports to the same Bond. This can be configured over a web interface in Physical Network Configuration tab as shown in Figure 1.

Please note that bonding feature serves as a high availability network interface and not to increase bandwidth capacity.
