Greetings fellas,

I want to connect my "2012" Mac Pro to my Windows workstation, which also has 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports via two Crossover cables I found lying around. What steps do I have to undertake to team the links on the Mac Pro?

P.S.: It's just an experiment, inb4 "ar u dump? use firewire!"


Cheers,

Sami

Edit: I mean "aggregate the links on the Mac Pro", thanks to Sammich

Edit: Best answer below. Thanks a lot!

System Prefs / networking.

Click the cog button.

Manage Virtual Interfaces

Click +

New Link Aggregate.

You'll then have the option to select the ethernet interfaces to aggregate. Never tried to do this without a network switch, though, so you may have some fiddling around to do...
