Off-topic, but still not a very good idea. You now have two points of
failure and clients cannot go to the other interface. Better to do channel
bonding on a good switch, so you do get double the bandwidth but the two
connections are redundant and the failure of one does not imply a total
service outage but only a reduction in throughput.
