Bonding is nothing but Linux kernel feature that allows to aggregate multiple like interfaces (such as eth0, eth1) into a single virtual link such as bond0. The idea is pretty simple get higher data rates and as well as link failover. The following instructions were tested on: RHEL v4 / 5 / 6 amd64 CentOS v5 / 6 amd64 Fedora Linux 13 amd64 and up. 2 x PCI-e Gigabit Ethernet NICs with Jumbo Frames (MTU 9000) Hardware RAID-10 w/ SAS 15k enterprise grade hard disks. Gigabit switch with Jumbo Frame This server act as an heavy duty ftp, and nfs file server. Each, night a perl script will transfer lots of data from this box to a backup server. Therefore, the network would be setup on a switch using dual network cards. I am using Red Hat enterprise Linux version 4.0. But, the inductions should work on ...
