Configure a Link Aggregation (Oracle Solaris 11)

The example in this procedure aggregates sample interfaces i40e0, i40e1, i40e2, and i40e3. Arbitrary key numbers (1 and 2) are used for each aggregation.

1. Configure the link aggregation containing the i40e interfaces.

    root@xn5-2a:~# dladm create-aggr -l net5 -l net6 aggr1 
    root@xn5-2a:~# ipadm create-ip aggr1 
    root@xn5-2a:~# ipadm create-addr -a 192.1.1.14/24 aggr1 
    aggr1/v4 
   

2. Create aggregation in the default mode.

    root@xn5-2a:~# dladm show-aggr 
    LINK              MODE  POLICY   ADDRPOLICY           LACPACTIVITY LACPTIMER 
    aggr1             trunk L4       auto                 off          short 
   

3. Use the -m option to configure mode = dlmp.

   # dladm create-aggr -m dlmp -l net5 -l net6 aggr2
   # dladm show-aggr
   LINK              MODE  POLICY   ADDRPOLICY           LACPACTIVITY LACPTIMER
   aggr2             dlmp  --       --                   --           --
