Hi Vivek,
It is also called bonding which might yield better results in google.

It is actually very simple:
Create a new file called ifcfg-bond0 in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
with the following data inside:
DEVICE=bond0
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=Your ip here
NETMASK=Your netmask here

In the interface that you want as part of the bond edit the appropriate
file. For example ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth2 which can also be found in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/

You should edit out the ip address and netmask. Make sure the bootproto
is none, keep the hardware address, add slave=yes and add master=bond0

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
HWADDR=AA:AA:C4:BE:AA:AA
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
SLAVE=yes
MASTER=bond0


Hi there

i thought that you were meant to remove the HWADDR= lines from
ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1 as bonding manipulates these values to make
the necessary arp magic work.

the documentation seems to support this view.
