Creating an IPMP Group Using Probe-Based and Link-State Failure Detection (BUI)

Create one or more "underlying" IP interfaces that will be used as components of the IPMP group. Each interface must have an IP address to be used as the probe source (see Creating a Single Port Interface (BUI)).

Do not use probe-based failure detection when there no systems (other than the cluster peer) on the same subnet as the IPMP test addresses that are configured to answer ICMP echo requests.

1. Go to Configuration > Network > Configuration.
2. Click the Interface add item icon .
3. Optionally, change the name of the interface.
4. Click the IP MultiPathing Group check box.
5. Click the Use IPv4 Protocol and/or the Use IPv6 Protocol, and specify the IP addresses for the IPMP interface.
6. Choose the interfaces created in the first step from the Interfaces list.
7. Set each chosen interface to be either Active or Standby, as desired.
8. Click APPLY.
