Configure DataLink layer (layer 2)

Spanning Tree Protocol
The system network interfaces connected to the customer network are not part of the Layer 2 switching network. The Spanning Tree Protocol is not needed on these ports and no Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDU) are sent. Systems send only untagged Ethernet frames. No IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging is used.
Bonding the interface
Each appliance can bond interfaces to prevent single point of failure or provide link aggregation for high-performance applications.
