I've just purchased a server board with two 1 gig lan ports. I would like to

If this isn't possible is there another way to use these two ports to enhance
network through-put??
Your switch must support trunking of some sort. Most Cisco, or SMC
you want to bond the interfaces.
The files you need to edit are
