Does Clonezilla Lite Server support bonding interface if i have 2 or more network interface? If so, please kindly share on how to do that, Thank You.

Clonezilla Server (also known as Clonezilla Lite Server) primarily focuses on disk cloning and imaging tasks and doesn't directly support network interface bonding within its core functionality. Clonezilla Server is designed to simplify the process of cloning multiple computers over a network, but it doesn't have built-in bonding features.

If you have multiple network interfaces on your Clonezilla Server machine and want to improve network performance or redundancy through bonding, you would typically configure network bonding at the operating system level, not within Clonezilla itself.

To set up network bonding on a Linux server (assuming you're using a Linux-based Clonezilla Server), you would follow these general steps:
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet static
address 192.168.1.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
slaves eth0 eth1
bond_mode 1 # Example: Use active-backup bonding mode
bond_miimon 100

Adjust the settings according to your network requirements and bonding mode preferences.

Restart Networking: After saving the configuration, restart the networking service to apply the changes. The specific command may vary depending on your Linux distribution (e.g., service networking restart, systemctl restart networking).

Test Bonding: Verify that bonding is working correctly by checking the status of the bond interface and testing network connectivity.

Please note that the steps and configuration files may vary depending on your Linux distribution and the version of Clonezilla Server you are using. Always consult your distribution's documentation and Clonezilla's documentation for specific details and updates.

Since my knowledge is based on information available up to September 2021, I recommend checking the latest Clonezilla Server documentation and your Linux distribution's documentation for any changes or specific instructions related to network bonding.
