How to combine

[Tim Writer]

On Linux, the capability to combine multiple NICs into one is termed
"bonding". How you set it up is distribution specific and there are HOWTOs
and documentation available for most distros. Try a google search for
bonding and your distro.

If you're connecting two Linux machines together directly (without an
intervening switch), you'll need to configure bonding on both systems. If
you're connecting to a switch, you'll need a switch that supports trunking
(that's the Cisco term, IIRC, but I think most switch manufacturers use
that term).

HTH,

Tim
