The following end-to-end use case shows how to accomplish the following actions:
Create a DLMP aggregation.
Add links to the aggregation.
Configure an IP interface over the aggregation.
Configure a VNIC over the aggregation.
Configure probe-based failure detection for the aggregation.
Configure the target IP address in the routing table.
Monitor the ICMP and transitive probes.
Become an administrator.

Display datalink information to identify the datalinks for aggregation.
# dladm show-link LINK CLASS MTU STATE OVER net0 phys 1500 up -- net1 phys 1500 up -- net2 phys 1500 up --
Ensure that the datalinks that you want aggregate do not have IP interfaces configured over the link. Delete the interface if any interface is configured on any of the links.
# ipadm show-if IFNAME CLASS STATE ACTIVE OVER lo0 loopback ok yes -- net0 ip ok no -- # ipadm delete-ip net0
Create a DLMP aggregation with the links net0 and net1.
# dladm create-aggr -m dlmp -l net0 -l net1 aggr1
Add another link, net2, to the aggregation.
# dladm add-aggr -l net2 aggr1
Reconfigure the switch to accommodate the new links if the existing switch configuration requires it. See the switch manufacturer's documentation.
Configure an IP interface on top of the aggregation aggr1.
# ipadm create-ip aggr1 # ipadm create-addr -a local=203.0.113.1 aggr1/v4
Create a VNIC on top of the aggregation.
# dladm create-vnic -l aggr1 vnic1
Configure probe-based failure detection for the aggregation.
# dladm set-linkprop -p probe-ip=+ aggr1
Since the source and the target addresses are not specified, they will be automatically chosen.
Display the state of the aggregated ports and the targets.
# dladm show-aggr -S LINK PORT FLAGS STATE TARGETS XTARGETS aggr1 net0 u--3 active 203.0.113.2 net2 net1 -- net1 u-2- active -- net2 net0 -- net2 u-2- active -- net0 net1
Monitor the ICMP probe statistics.

The aggregation aggr0 with an IP interface configured over it is created. The VNIC vnic1 is configured on top of the aggregation aggr0. Probe-based failure detection is configured without specifying either the source IP address or the target IP address of the probes. To enable probing, the target in the routing table is configured with an IP address, 203.0.113.2, on the same subnet as the specified IP address, 203.0.113.1. The ICMP and transitive probe statistics are monitored.
