SimonF Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 You need to do on both switch and server. My switch is Zyxel but you need to define LAG and put the ports into a Group, bonding mode will have to match your switch mode. on the server set bonding. Quote Link to comment
flowermoron Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 ok i think i got working, it connects & everything but is there anyway to test the speed or bandwidth? Quote Link to comment
SimonF Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 You will only get max 1Gb for a session, you would need to run multiple iperfs to different IPs. Two sessions to two different clients should run both NICs at 1Gb. Quote Link to comment

Yes It will help as clients will be split between the nics. But a single client PC to server will only ever get 1Gb. Quote Link to comment
