Link Aggregation Creation and Troubleshooting Steps of Asustor AS6512RD
Create Link Aggregation on Asustor AS6512RD
Steps to Create Link Aggregation
- Login to your asustor device
- Go to Setting > Network > Network Interface > Add > Create Link Aggregation
- Select an aggregation mode from the drop-down list.
- Round-Robin: Transmits packets in sequential order from the first available connection to the next. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.
- Active Backup: Only one connection is active. A different connection becomes active if, and only if, the active connection fails. The aggregated MAC address is externally visible on only one port (network adapter) to avoid confusing the switch. This mode provides fault tolerance.
- XOR: Transmits based on the default simple transmit hash policy. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance. This mode supports Static Link Aggregation.
- Broadcast: Transmits everything on all connections. This mode provides fault tolerance.
- 802.3ad (IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic Link Aggregation): Creates aggregation groups that share the same speed and duplex settings. Utilizes all connections in the active aggregator according to the 802.3ad specification. You will need a switch that supports IEEE 802.3ad dynamic link aggregation. This mode provides fault tolerance and load balancing.
- Adaptive Transmit Load Balancing: Does not require any special switch support. The outgoing traffic is distributed according to the current load (computed relative to the speed) on each connection. Incoming traffic is received by the current connection. If the receiving connection fails, another connection takes over the MAC address of the failed receiving connection. This mode provides fault tolerance.
- Adaptive Load Balancing: Includes transmit load balancing plus receive load balancing for IPV4 traffic and does not require any special switch support. The receive load balancing is achieved by ARP negotiation. This mode provides fault tolerance and load balancing.

Troubleshooting Steps
If you unable to achieve speed, please check below setup.
Check the below devices compatibility
- Check the server compatibility, server and Asustor storage device must have same transfer speed or can have greater speed.
- Also check the medium (Ethernet cable, Fiber ), cables must have equal or greater than data transfer .
- Check the list below mentioning cat cables capability
