Proxmox 7 Combining 4 ethernet ports

[djsami]

I want to make 4 ports 1+1+1+1 giga, 4 gigabits in total, how do I do that?

swish has 10 gigabit connections

You need to create a bond. Does your switch support link aggregation? 802.3ad support?

if i plug in the other 3 cables i think it will be 4 gigabit

Thansk.

So your NIC support 802.3ad but I asked If your switch also supports it. As you need to configure both, your Host and Switch, with matching options for it to work.

Hello

Main fiber fortıgate 3600c + junıper ex4550


main system fortigate 3600c is coming 100 gigabit, with this 10 gigabit fiber, the juniper ex4550 is connected and distributed to the server

Link Aggregation

• 802.3ad support
  • Number of LAGs supported: 64
  • Maximum number of ports per LAG: 8
• LAG load-sharing algorithm—bridged or routed (unicast or multicast) traffic:
  • IP: S/D IP
  • TCP/UDP: S/D IP, S/D Port
  • Non-IP: S/D MAC
  • Tagged ports support in LAG

Then you could create a LACP bond like described here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Network_Configuration#_linux_bond
Maybe with bond-xmit-hash-policy layer3+4 instead of bond-xmit-hash-policy layer2+3 if you can set your switch to layer 3+4 too. Benefit would be that a connection between two hosts could be more than 1 Gbit when using different ports in parallel.
