Hi,
I have Solaris-10 server and link aggregation is configured on this in below way
There will be switch replacement, so one by one, link will go down from one side. Before that activity, is there any way to check/test, if server will work fine, if one side goes down ? In same way, as used to check by if_mpadm -d in ipmp.

I have some linux machines that I am trying to increase the throughput to on a single connection. They connect to a switch with two 1GbE lines and the switch does not have Link Aggregation support for these machines. I have tried bonding with balance-rr, balance-alb, but the machines can only...

Hi,
I need to setup a hacmp cluster (my first one, we usually use VCS on AIX), but I require more network bandwith than a normal gigabit etherchannel setup can provide, so I am thinking about using linkaggregation - 2 active adapters to one switch and a single backup adapter to another switch...

Hi,
Hoping someone can offer some advice on something i have not dealt with before.
We have a server that seems to have some very strange configuration done on it. It has 2 physical NIC's and rather than both be aggregated into LAN900 we have 1 in LAN900 and 1 in LAN901? (See Below)... (2 Replies)
Me again :)
I'm trying to find a page describing the L2, L3 und L4 modes of dladm.
It's nice to read "hashed by ip header", but how should I use that?
On the file-server it's ok to have the six interfaces serving six clients each on it's own. But an rsync connection via switch between two... (8 Replies)
Hi,
I want to Break the Link Aggregation. My aggregation are lan0+lan1 = lan900.
Now I want to break this and put the IP in lan0. But i have cluster environment and this is the main database server.
So It need to change in cluster script.
But I dont know where I have to change it.
Please... (1 Reply)
Hi,
I'm not from the Solaris world and some of these things are new to me. Can someone tell me if it is possible to configure link aggregation without using LACP?
I am told etherchannel was setup without LACP. (3 Replies)
I have setup link aggregation with 3 interfaces on my solaris 10 system.
All looks good but my problem is that the traffic is only going out bge0 and not the other 2 links.

sfe(7D) Devices sfe(7D)NAME
sfe - SiS900 series Fast Ethernet device driver
SYNOPSIS
/dev/sfe
DESCRIPTION
The sfe driver is a loadable, clonable, GLD-based STREAMS driver supporting the Data Link Provider Interface dlpi(7P) on Silicon Inte-
grated Systems 900 series Fast Ethernet controllers.
APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
The relevant fields returned as part of a DL_INFO_ACK response are:
o Maximum SDU is 1500.
o Minimum SDU is 0.
o The dlsap address length is 8.
o MAC type is DL_ETHER.
o SAP length is -2. The 6-byte physical address is followed immediately by a 2-byte SAP.
o Service mode is DL_CLDLS.
o Broadcast address is the 6-byte Ethernet broadcast address (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff).
If the SAP provided is zero, then IEEE 802.3 mode is assumed and outbound frames will have the frame payload length written into the type
field. Likewise, inbound frames with a SAP between zero and 1500 are interpreted as IEEE 802.3 frames and delivered to any streams that are
bound to SAP zero (the 802.3 SAP).
PROPERTIES
The following properties may be configured using either ndd(1M) or the sfe.conf configuration file as described by driver.conf(4):
adv_100fdx_cap
Enables the 100 Base TX full-duplex link option. (This is generally the fastest mode if both link partners support it. Most modern
equipment supports this mode.)
adv_100hdx_cap
Enables the 100 Base TX half-duplex link option. (Typically used when the link partner is a 100 Mbps hub.)
adv_10fdx_cap
Enables the 10 Base-T full-duplex link option. (This less-frequently used mode is typically used when the link partner is a 10 Mbps
switch.)
adv_10hdx_cap
Enables the 10 Base-T half-duplex link option. (This is the fall-back when no other option is available. It is typically used when
the link partner is a 10 Mbps hub or is an older network card.)
