Dual Gig Ethernet Setup

Recommended Posts

Howdy y'all, newb here.  I am building a NAS with unraid (so far so good) and have (2) GIG Ethernet cards on my motherboard.  I have them both plugged into a switch, but only one seems to be enabled.  It says Interface eth0 is pulling an IP from router but Interface eth1 one says "not configured" and at the bottom there is a button that says "PORT DOWN".  I would ideally like to bond them in order to use 2 GIG on the NAS.  How would I go about doing this?  I have looked for documentation, but cannot find it.  Thanks so much.

Doesn’t the switch need to support bonding too?

Several are available.
