I have several servers with anywhere upwards of 4 NIC's, the plan was to implement network card teaming using a simple bond. The simplest solution is to follow these instructions.

My specific config looked like:

```
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto bond0
iface bond0 inet static
        address 192.168.0.8
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.0.0
        gateway 192.168.0.1
        slaves eth0 eth1 eth2 eth3
        bond_mode balance-tlb
        bond_miimon 100
        bond_downdelay 200
        bond_updelay 200
```

Very simple solving the issue!
