You do know under Linux attaching more than one NIC to a LAN does not
increase the throughput, do you?

You have to use bonding in either 802.3ad- or ALB-mode to achieve this.
The first one uses LACP and needs a switch which is specially configured
while the last one does not need any configuration in the switch, you
can even connect both NICs to different switches, as long as the (V)LAN
you connect your server to is available on both.
