Setup 2 network adapter in a team

[Paladinemishakal]

Hi All,

I have a server with 2 network adapters which was running Win2k3 previously but now I have to redeploy them to run Debian Lenny.

In Windows, the network adapters are configured to run in a team such that eth0 is always the active one while eth1 is the standby one. Each network adapter is then connected to separate switch to provide redundancy.

As I am redeploying the servers to Linux, I am looking at how I can set the server up to have the network adapters run in a same setup as they had in Windows. The network adapters are Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit ethernet.

Any help?

Regards.
