Network teaming is method for linking NIC's together logically to allow for failover or higher throughput.
RHEL 7 implements network teaming with a small kernel driver and a user space daemon, teamd. The kernel handles network packets efficiently and teamd handles logic and interface processing. Software, called runners, implement load balancing and active-backup logic, such as roundrobin. The following runners are available to teamd:
- broadcast : a simple runner transmits each packet from all ports
- roundrobin : simple runner which transmits packets in a rounf-robin fashion from each port
- activebackup : failover runner which watches for link changes and selects an active port for data transfers
- loadbalance : this runner monitors traffic and uses a hash function to try to reach a perfect balance when selecting ports for packet transmission.
- lacp : implements the 802.3ad Link aggregation control protocol. can use the same transmit port selection possibilities as the loadbalance runner.
Steps:
- Create team interface
- Assigning the IPv4 or IPv6 attributes of the team interface
- Assign the port interfaces
- Bring the team and port interfaces up/down
Current existing network interfaces are beow, "eno33554984" and "eno50332208" will be the interfaces that will be the ports for the teamed interface.

#
- Create team interface:
# nmcli connection add type team con-name team0 ifname team0 config '{"runner": {"name": "activebackup"}}'
Connection 'team0' (b781d554-6d28-4baa-9af8-5f3331acd427) successfully added.
#
'{"runner": {"name": "activebackup"}}' - In this setup i'm using method 'activebackup'
- Assign IPv4 attributes to team interface.
# nmcli connection modify team0 ipv4.addresses '192.168.229.181/24'
# nmcli connection modify team0 ipv4.method manual
- assign the port interfaces
# nmcli connection add type team-slave con-name team0-port1 ifname eno33554984 master team0
Connection 'team0-port1' (d7ae4a56-4872-4264-8f2f-215742deae92) successfully added.
# nmcli connection add type team-slave con-name team0-port2 ifname eno50332208 master team0
Connection 'team0-port2' (c6755f4b-8071-4294-b3d5-691da53cf264) successfully added.
#
- check the current state of teamed interfaces.
# ip a show team0

Ping from your network gateway through the 'team0' interface, and when the 'eno33554984' || 'eno50332208' have been disconnected, you still have no interruptions in the PING.
how to disconnect one of the interface:
#nmcli device disconnect eno33554984
#teamdctl team0 state
#nmcli device connect eno33554984
- Display team ports of the team0 interface
# teamnl team0 ports
- Display the active port
# teamnl team0 getoption activeport
Thanks
