The product you are looking for is called "Auto-Port Aggregation" from HP.
It shares as few as two or as many as eight LAN interfaces as a single
"logical" interface. The client load is balanced by one of several
algorithms, which you can choose. You can drop all but one LAN port and it
will keep the virtual interface up and serving all the clients. Ports will
automatically rejoin the aggregate when they come back up.
Caveat: This requires configuration on your network ethernet switch. I know
that it is supported by Cisco, as "trunking" but all the ports have to be
adjacent on the switch (the HP server doesn't care about which interfaces
are on what cards).
It's called 'Auto Port Aggregation' software and
is available from HP for about $1,000.00. I installed
it on an N-Class last year, very easy to install.
Regards

Subject: [HPADM] Teaming of NIC
Admins,
I am having N-class Server, in which two NIC(Network Interface Card) are present. We want to provide a load balancing functionality and Fault tolerance at NIC level. While browsing net, I came across technology called teaming Which states" You can assign same IP address two different NIC" . With this kind of configuration NIC will share the incoming and outgoing traffic .
If anyone has configured the teaming , Kindly let me know the software and steps which are involved in the same.
Regards
Anand Hotchandani
