Disabling Outbound Load Spreading in Link-Based IPMP Configuration

It is possible to disable outbound load spreading in link-based IPMP. If you mark an interface as standby, that interface will not be used until an active interface fails, regardless of whether link-based or probe-based failure detection is used. Link-based failure detection is always enabled by the in.mpathd daemon.

Use the ipadm command as follows:

# ipadm set-ifprop -m ip -p standby=on interface
