If you need a 2gbps NIC, you need to bond dual 1gbps NICs. It is done using the following way.
1. For your eth0 and eth1 (or whatever your 2 nics are named), you will put the following:
Code:
DEVICE=eth# HWADDR=NIC HW address goes here BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes USERCTL=no MASTER=bond0 SLAVE=yes
Obviously change the eth# to eth0, eth1, or whatever the nic name is and change the HWADDR line to the correct hw addr of the NIC.
2. Now we need to create the ifcfg-bond0 file using the following command:
Code:
touch /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0
3. Open up the newly created bond0 file and put the following into it:
Code:
DEVICE=bond0 IPADDR="1.1.1.1" NETMASK="255.255.255.0" GATEWAY="1.1.1.1" ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=none USERCTL=no BONDING_OPTS="miimon=80 mode=4 xmit_hash_policy=layer3+4"
Replace the IP, netmask and gateway with your respective values. Save and restart network:
Code:
/etc/init.d/network reload
You should now be running on a bonded nic. You can check using the ifconfig command and will see bond0 with the primary IP.
Note: If you are running intel nics, it is a smart idea to add the following to the /etc/grub.conf kernel line, at the end:
Code:
pcie_aspm=off
Then save and reboot the server. This will ensure that the NICs won't fall asleep.

Even though I only have a shared hosting plan, their technical support team responded to my tech support request within the hour, and correctly to boot. (I needed to have a subdomain point to a Tumblr blog by changing the CNAME.)
AYKsolutions - best solution for small/high business I have several plans with them and i can sleep well because their team watch over my servers. I started with a small shared account and now, after two years i have multiple dedicated boxes. I like the way they treat their customers, even if they have a small or a big plan. Their tehnical support is the best i ever meet ( worked with many hosting pro viders ). In one word: If you need cheap and no headache for your internet bussiness, AYKsolutions it's your best choice
I have been with ayksolutions for around 5 years and have been thoroughly impressed with them. All support tickets are answered within minutes, regardless of the time of day. Prices are very reasonable, especially considering the support and services they provide. They are constantly doing crazy deals for servers as well. If you're looking for someone good and reliable to host with, from shared hosting to dedicated servers, I easily recommend ayksolutions.
