+### Configuring interface bonding
+
+Select the tab below that matches your server configuration:
+
+- **Two interfaces**: Advance servers with two physical NICs.
+- **Four interfaces - Double LAG**: Scale and High Grade servers with OLA in **Active - Double LAG** mode (public + private aggregates). This requires [OLA to be enabled](/pages/bare_metal_cloud/dedicated_servers/ola-enable-manager) in the OVHcloud Control Panel.
+- **Four interfaces - Fully Private**: Scale and High Grade servers with OLA in **Active - Fully Private** mode (single private aggregate for vRack). This requires [OLA to be enabled](/pages/bare_metal_cloud/dedicated_servers/ola-enable-manager) in the OVHcloud Control Panel.
