In this Solaris release, the ipmpstat command is the preferred tool to use to obtain information about IPMP group information. In this chapter, the ipmpstat command replaces certain functions of the ifconfig command that were used in previous Solaris releases to provide IPMP information.
For information about the different options for the ipmpstat command, see Monitoring IPMP Information.
This following sections provide links to the tasks in this chapter.
