How to Add an Interface to an IPMP Group

Before You Begin

Check that the interface that you add to the group meets all of the necessary requirements. See How to Plan an IPMP Group.

Ensure that your role has the appropriate rights profile to perform this procedure. See Using Rights Profiles to Perform Network Configuration.

1. If the underlying IP interface does not yet exist, create the interface.

   $ ipadm create-ip under-interface

2. Add the IP interface to the IPMP group.

   $ ipadm add-ipmp -i under-interface ipmp-interface

   ipmp-interface refers to the IPMP group to which you want to add the underlying interface.

Example 17  Adding an Interface to an IPMP Group

The following example shows how to add the net4 interface to the IPMP group, ipmp0.

$ ipadm create-ip net4
$ ipadm add-ipmp -i net4 ipmp0
$ ipmpstat -g
GROUP   GROUPNAME   STATE      FDT       INTERFACES
ipmp0   ipmp0      ok         10.00s    net0 net1 net4
