February 17, 20215 yr Community Expert 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.
February 17, 20215 yr Author ok i think i got working, it connects & everything but is there anyway to test the speed or bandwidth?

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