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.

Dedicated Semi-Managed Server Review I've been using AYKSolutions for about 2 years now and their support and servers have been great. They assisted me with the transition of all my websites and databases from my old server onto their system with no problem. If I ever need them for support or a change they respond fast and always keep me up to date with the status of my support ticket. I highly recommend using this company especially if you're looking for someone to assist with server management. Best of all their cost is great!
Hi Guys and Gals, I'll just say you all are top notch and go above and behind with support. I've tested many other companies none compare to the expertise you all. Previously I would just get a ticked bumped up to a higher level of tier support etc. with AYK everyone is knowledgeable and prompt. Thank you for offering a premium hosting solution. Warm Regards, Johnny
After getting a dedicated server from AYK for almost 2 years, I couldn't be more happy. The prices are very reasonable, I haven't experienced a moment of downtime, the support is excellent and truly 24/7. You have a critical issue at 2am? You will have it sorted out in less than 15 minutes. If you are looking for honest, reliable and affordable hosting provider, look no further!
