Direct 20(10 + 10)G Connection?

I have 2 MYRICOM Myri-10G NICs, and am interested in establishing a direct connection from my server to my Desktop.

How can I do this? I’ve plugged in the cable into both machines, and can see the devices in both inxi and ip a

[manjaro manjaro]# inxi -n
Network:   Device-1: MYRICOM Myri-10G Dual-Protocol NIC driver: myri10ge 
           IF: enp6s0 state: down mac: 00:60:dd:45:7c:7c 
           Device-2: MYRICOM Myri-10G Dual-Protocol NIC driver: myri10ge 
           IF: enp7s0 state: down mac: 00:60:dd:45:7c:7d 
           Device-3: Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 driver: iwlwifi 
           IF: wlp9s0 state: down mac: be:bf:78:5d:c2:36 
           Device-4: Intel Ethernet I225-V driver: igc 
           IF: enp10s0 state: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full mac: 24:4b:fe:df:6c:28 
[manjaro manjaro]# ip a

I know that a lot of the tutorials use ifconfig, but they look ancient, and I know that ip replaced (or so I heard) ifconfig.

How can I establish a direct 20 (10 + 10)G link aggregated connection between both machines?

Hi @Sarah,

While I have absolutely no other information than this, I can tell you that AFAIK the term you’re looking for is netword device bonding.

Also, AFAIK it can be configured with Canonical’s netplan.

Hope this helps!

Edit:
Don’t know if this’ll help and I know it’s for Ubuntu, but Ubuntu’s still Linux:
