Configuring a bonded NIC

Network Interface Card (NIC) bonding (also known as teaming) enables you to join two NICs as a single physical device so that they appear as one interface. This is usually performed to provide failover capabilities or load balancing. Bonding can be configured on the BMC Discovery hardware appliance. It is not something that you should consider on a virtual appliance, because failover and load balancing should be provided by the virtualization platform.


Warning

When changing network configuration on your appliance, you should always be able to access the system console in case the new configuration does not work correctly.

Netadmin does not work with bonded NICs

If you configure your appliance to use bonded NICs, you can no longer use the netadmin user to perform any networking configuration.

For information on how to configure a bonded NIC, see the Oracle Linux 9 documentation.
