In this recipe, you'll learn how to combine multiple Ethernet devices as a single network device in a configuration known as channel bonding. Channel bonding allows us to bind multiple devices together so that they appear as a single interface to servers running on the CentOS system. Its purpose is to improve your system's overall network performance and provide redundancy if one of the network devices fails.
This recipe requires a CentOS system with at least two Ethernet devices. It assumes that your primary Ethernet device is enp0s3. If your device is named differently, substitute the name appropriately in the recipe's commands. You'll also need administrative privileges provided by logging in with the root account.
