SUn Trunking Guide

Hello..Guys I need some help on sun trunking... I have followed the configuration guide

C H A P T E R 3 - Configuring the Sun Trunking 1.3 Software

from Sun but it doesn't work. Is it suppose to failover from 1 link to another when 1 of the link/port is down in the trunk, or once the head interface is down, the trunk is dead? Or i need to setup IPMP over trunking? Sorry I'm totally new to this and there ain't much info about sun trunking over the net..

And I read somewhere that I need to configure the switch in order to get the trunking work?

Please kindly advise. Thank you.

hey thanks for the reply. So I need to configure the switch before the trunking would actually work right? Is there anyway I can verify that the I have setup my trunking properly? This is the output of nettr command and it seems correct..

May I know do I need to configure IPMP for HA for trunking, or it's already HA after I configured the trunking? I have tried remove the cable from one of the interface and the traffic completely died. It seems to me that since it's doing the layer 2 HA, I must configure the switch first before I could see the HA working?
