Why Bond Ethernet Ports?
Channel bonding is a method of aggregating multiple ethernet ports into a single interface, thereby multiplying the bandwidth available to a single IP address. You will also enjoy the benefits of load balancing the network interfaces, and implement a more fault tolerant environment, by virtue of the fact that if one ethernet port fails, the other(s) will continue to function with no outage to your user community.Important Note
Follow the instructions very carefully, and consider making backup copies of any files that you delete or modify, in case you need to revert back to a non‐bonded configuration.This example only shows two bonded ports. If you desire to bond three or more, just follow the example and define them as your requirements dictate.
The examples shown have been tested in the lab at Zerowait. It is not possible to cover every requirement or variation and keep the document of reasonable size. Hopefully it will give you ideas on how to proceed, so you can adapt the information shown herein to meet your own specific requirements.
