Ethernet Port Teaming

Been on a Server Essentials course and the trainer showed us how to team two ethernet ports on a XServe together, but for the life of me I can remember how to do it now I've finally got the company to buy a couple.

Any help would be great guys

Thanks

Via the GUI:

System Preferences -> Network -> Show -> Network Port Configurations -> New -> Link Aggregate

Via the CLI:

<pre class=command>sudo networksetup -createBond "Bonded Interface Name" "Built-in Ethernet 1" "Built-in Ethernet 2"</pre>

will create a new trunk called 'Bonded Interface Name' consisting of en0 and en1.

In both cases, make sure you configure your switch ports accordingly.
