Shalom,

If you want assurance of one or the other being up, bonding is your best bet.

If you won't do that then bring them both up with different IP addresses. Use DNS alias techniques to direct traffic to the second interface when the first is down.

Can you explain a little more what do you want to do? Is it "normal" interface in the same switch vlan as "backup". Are they in the same or different subnet? What is your goal?
