The document clearly states the "OR" word. So, adding more NICs is just one approach. IPaliasing is another feasibly approach. In windows if you navigate to Network Connections>Select your network>TCP/IP>Advanced. You are provided with advanced options to enter aliases to your primary IP. As your network administrator to disabled DHCP and provide you with N number of IP addresses. Now, set any one of the IP as primary address for the injector machine and enter the rest as aliases for the primary IP in the advanced settings screen. Now Jmeter can use any of the IP addresses present in the alias list while firing requests.
