Operating Systems Solaris Difference between IPMP and Link Aggregation ? Post 302316176 by kwachtler on Thursday 14th of May 2009 10:04:01 AM

IPMP reboot not nessesary

Frozentin,
Yes, ifconfig can be used to setup IPMP live, but you still need to configure hostname.xxx files to make it persistent across reboots.

Reiterating, IPMP has two failure detection modes: 1) pinging, typically a router, 2) link status on the NIC, which does not ping. I have found link status to be a dependable IPMP failover trigger, conversely, I have found the ping method to falsely trigger failover when the default router was busy and could not respond to ping in a timely manner (but this is very rare).

NAME
macping - A tool for pinging other RouterOS or mactelnetd devices SYNOPSIS
mactelnet [options] <MAC-Address|hostname> DESCRIPTION
This tool enables you to ping other RouterOS or MAC-Telnetd enabled devices. You can ping either a hostname or a MAC address. If speci- fied, the hostname (identity) will be looked up via MNDP discovery. OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax. A summary of options is included below. -f Fast mode, do not wait before sending next ping request. The next ping will be sent immediately when the last ping is received. This cannot be used with -c 0 -s Specify the amount of bytes to send in each ping packet, up to ~1400 bytes. -c Number of packets to send before exiting. A value of 0 means unlimited packets and the tool must be exited with Control + C. -h Show summary of options. -v Show version of program. SEE ALSO
