Use the
settings to combine multiple physical Ethernet interfaces into one logical bond interface. Depending on its mode of operation, a bond interface offers the following two advantages:- Load balancing – A bond interface provides increased bandwidth by using all aggregated Ethernet interfaces in parallel to transmit data.
- High availability – If one Ethernet interface fails, data can still be received and transmitted on the remaining Ethernet interfaces.
You can add as many bond interfaces as you like as long as there are available Ethernet interfaces that are not used by other interfaces or in any network connections.
You can find more information regarding bond interfaces in the following sections.
