Network Card Bonding
When you configure NIC ports, you have the option of enabling bonding, a failover
mechanism that automatically switches a specific NIC port to a standby network upon the
failure or abnormal termination of the currently active system. By default, the
lowest-numbered NIC provides the addresses of the bond channel, but you can change the
addresses manually.
Note:
Enabling DHCP disables NIC bonding and enabling NIC bonding disables DHCP. Enabling
DHCP or NIC bonding disables manually configuring addresses.The following commands are used
to configure NIC bonding.
