How to Add a Link to an Aggregation

1. Become an administrator.

   For more information, see Using Your Assigned Administrative Rights in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.2 .

2. Ensure that no IP interfaces are configured over the link. If any IP interface is configured, delete that IP interface.

   # ipadm show-if
   # ipadm delete-ip interface

   where interface is the IP interface configured over the datalink.

3. Add the link to the aggregation.

   # dladm add-aggr -l link [-l link] [...] aggr

   where link represents a datalink that you are adding to the aggregation and aggr is the name of the aggregation.

4. (Trunk aggregations only) If necessary, reconfigure the switch.

   You might need to reconfigure the switch to accommodate the additional datalinks based on how the switch is configured, even if LACP is enabled on the switch.

   See the switch manufacturer's documentation to perform any reconfiguration tasks on the switch.

This example shows how to add a link to the aggregation aggr0.

# dladm show-link
LINK     CLASS     MTU     STATE     OVER
net0     phys      1500    up        --
net1     phys      1500    up        --
aggr0    aggr      1500    up        net0 net1
net3     phys      1500    up        --
# ipadm delete-ip net3
# dladm add-aggr -l net3 aggr0
# dladm show-link
LINK     CLASS     MTU     STATE     OVER
net0     phys      1500    up        --    
net1     phys      1500    up        --       
aggr0    aggr      1500    up        net0 net1 net3
net3     phys      1500    up        --
