Yes, the netmask mentioned was /24 subnet and I will make sure that gateways are reachable in either case for nge0 and nge1.

nge0: 10.10.10.1/24
nge1: 20.20.20.1/24

1. Being nge0 as primary interface, if I ping to an IP 20.20.20.5, what will happen?
2. If the answer for the question#1 says that it will not ping, how do I make an IP 20.20.20.5 reachable with nge0 interface as primary?
3. how to define the primary and standby interface in Solaris?

Can anyone guide me for these questions?

NAME
ipx_configure - query/configure IPX behavior SYNOPSIS
ipx_configure [ --help | -h ] [ --auto_interface=on|off | -i on|off ] [ --auto_primary=on|off | -p on|off ] DESCRIPTION
ipx_configure queries or configures IPX behavior with respect to automatic IPX interface detection. IPX can be configured to automatically create interfaces as they are detected. It can also be configured to automatically select a primary interface when none is explicitly selected. By default, it is configured to NOT have this behavior. Without arguments, ipx_configure returns the current configuration state. The behavior with arguments is described in the section OPTIONS. OPTIONS
--auto_interface=on|off -i on|off This argument either turns on or off the behavior of automatically creating interfaces. --auto_primary=on|off -p on|off This argument either turns on or off the behavior of automatically selecting a primary interface. --help -h Print out information about utility. FILES
/proc/net/ipx_interface BUGS
