This is an old revision of the document!

on the windows server side:

sever manager > local server
top pain, left side > nic teaming > enabled
add the nics you wish to bond
bottom right corner > tasks > add team
name your team

once applied, you will lose internet connect and gain a new IP. if you are doing this via RDP, use angry IP scanner or similar tools to find your server, RDP back in, and assign a static IP

if you have a linux server instead:

on the switch side. cisco configurations for port channel. change your channel number, interface range, vlan, and description to suit your deployment. if you are instead using a trunk port, remove the spanning tree line.

conf t
interface port-channel 5
interface rang gi1/0/36-39
channel-group 5 mode active
spanning-tree portfast
switchport access vlan 100
description sv3-hp
no shut
