Configure Link Aggregations (Oracle Solaris 10)

The example in this procedure aggregates sample interfaces igb0, igb1, igb2, and igb3. Arbitrary key numbers (1 and 2) are used for each aggregation.

1. Unplumb the interfaces to be aggregated.

   # ifconfig igb0 unplumb 
   # ifconfig igb1 unplumb 
   # ifconfig igb2 unplumb 
   # ifconfig igb3 unplumb 

2. Create a link aggregation group with key 1 containing the first two interfaces, and bring up the link group.

   In this example, the -l active option turns on LACP mode:

   # dladm create-aggr -l active -d igb0 -d igb1 1
   # ifconfig aggr1 plumb
   # ifconfig aggr1 192.2.2.84 up

3. Create a link aggregation group with key 2 containing the other two interfaces, and bring up the link group.

   No mode is specified for the link aggregation group in this example:

   # dladm create-aggr -d igb2 -d igb3 2
   # ifconfig aggr2 plumb
   # ifconfig aggr2 193.2.2.84 up
