Active IQ --> Cluster Name --> Reporting --> API Collection -->GetNetworkConfig

In the network configuration the settings for link aggregation, hash algorithm, and transmit delay are present:
Example:
In Linux, "bond mode" refers to the configuration setting that determines how multiple network interfaces are combined into a single logical interface (called a bond) to distribute network traffic, essentially defining the policy for load balancing and fault tolerance between the different physical network cards depending on the chosen mode; different modes offer varying levels of redundancy and performance based on your network needs.
"bond-mode":"LACP",
In Linux LACP bonding, the "bond-xmit_hash_policy" setting determines how network traffic is distributed across the bonded interfaces, essentially defining the algorithm used to decide which interface to send a packet out on based on specific header information within the packet, allowing for load balancing across the bonded links; it controls the "hashing policy" for transmit load balancing. layer3+4: Uses the source IP address and source port for hashing.
"bond-xmit_hash_policy":"Layer3_4",
In Linux LACP bonding settings, "bond-updelay" refers to the minimum amount of time a physical interface must be active before it is considered usable for traffic within the bond, essentially acting as a delay to prevent issues caused by rapidly flapping network ports
"bond-updelay":"200",
