You can disable BDDS network redundancy when adding or replacing a server in the Address Manager user interface.

However, you must first disable bonding from the BDDS Administration Console and remove the DNS/DHCP Server from Address Manager control before completing the operation from the Address Manager user interface.

You can disable network redundancy when adding an DNS/DHCP Server that previously had network redundancy enabled, or you can disable network redundancy on an active DNS/DHCP Server by first disabling the server, then disabling redundancy when replacing the server.
Note: Disabling redundancy may require re-wiring of your network switch. BlueCat strongly recommends scheduling a maintenance window for any changes to network redundancy/port bonding.
Attention: When disabling Active/Active NIC bonding, you must first disable the 802.3ad mode from the network switch, then disable bonding from the Administration Console. This protects against loss of connectivity with the DNS/DHCP Server.
