Creating a bonded adapter is optional. A bonded adapter combines two Ethernet interfaces into a single logical link.
Network devices treat the bonded adapter as a single link, which increases fault tolerance and provides load sharing.
NETGEAR does not recommend bonding interfaces with different speeds, for example bonding a 1 Gb interface
with a 10 Gb interface.
