Setting NIC bonding (NIC aggregation)
-------------------------------------

NIC :ref:`bonding<bonding-term>` is an optional step that allows you
to aggregate multiple physical links into a single link;
this increases the speed and provides fault tolerance
for the network connection.
NIC bonding should be done before or in the scope of
mapping logical networks to NICS.

.. note:: NIC bonding is an
   :ref:`experimental feature<experimental-features-term>`
   in Fuel 6.0.
   You can instead run Linux bonding;
   follow the instructions in :ref:`Types of Bonding<types-bonding-arch>`.

Use "Configure Interfaces" tab to configure interface bonding.

1. Select node(s) and click "Configure Interfaces".
   Select interfaces to be aggregated. All interfaces except Admin-PXE can be aggregated.
