Network bonding is a method used to combine multiple network interfaces into a single virtual interface, often to provide redundancy, improve network throughput, or load balance traffic across multiple interfaces. This technology is particularly useful in high-availability systems or environments that require higher network performance. In Linux, network bonding is implemented through the bonding kernel module, which allows multiple physical network interfaces to appear as a single logical interface. This guide explains how to enable and configure network bonding on a Linux system. The steps include loading the bonding module, creating a bonded interface, and configuring bonding options based on the network requirements. 1. Prerequisites Before configuring network bonding, you need to ensure that: The Linux system has multiple network …
