I have a computer with 3 NICs: A, B, C. A is connected to the internet. B is connected to a 24 port switch and that switch is connected to another 24 port switch. These switches contain embedded computers. Now these NICs are gigabit, and I need faster speed, so I want to connect NIC C to one switch and NIC B to the first switch, effectively giving me 2 gigabits of throughput.

How would I configure this? If it could act as a single network that would be best. Would I do a bridge between the 2 ports? If so, would this give me the double the bandwidth?

Also would it be possible to get internet from the NIC A to be sent to NICs B and C?

All of this makes it sound like I am just trying to build a generic router on my system by having NAT and DHCP, a virtual switch with 2gbps capacity, and a 2gbit virtual nic connected to the virtual switch.

System: Windows 10 Pro

  • Look up "teaming". (that's the term hp uses). Its up to the manufacturer, but what you want to do is set up teaming, and have the nics share the load.

  • Windows server has that NIC teaming feature. You've to install that for that feature.

  • I'm running Windows 10 with Realtek NICs so teaming is not supported from what I have seen.
