You can, and should, use IPMP. Here's how we setup IPMP on our systems:
You can call your group anything you want, and make sure that you add the servername and servername-e1000g0/g4 (this will, of course, depend on your driver and your hardware) in the /etc/hosts file.
what will happen if I replace the following line with 'standby'
servername-e1000g4-ipmp netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast + group mnb -failover deprecated up
i.e. instead of above use :
servername-e1000g4-ipmp netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast + group mnb -failover standby up
in /etc/hostname.e1000g4 ! and /etc/hostname.e1000g0 remains as in quote.
