Setting up NIC Bonding through a non managed switch
I want to use the NIC Bonding feature on my ReadyNAS 104 but im not sure if I can. I am reading that I may need to set up a Teaming option/config on a connected switch/router but I do not have a managed switch. But in this article, http://kb.netgear.com/ci/fattach/get/82/1261408476/redirect/1/filename/Interface%20Teaming.pdf , is says that some of the teaming modes don't require any switch side configuration. Am I to understand that an unmanaged switch is ok in those scenarios? The switch is a Netgear FS108. If i can use one of these options with this switch which would be the best option? I have been experiencing some connectivity issues lately with my NAS and I would like to have a failsafe but at the same time i would like to employ load balancing as I run nightly backups to the NAS from a number of PC's on the network.
