You don't. Load balancing inbound traffic with IPMP requires the use of multiple IP addresses. You can't do it with just one IP address. For outbound traffic, we'll do load balancing on a per-destination address basis. This means that for each remote IP address, we pick a single output link to use. If you need finer granularity, then you'll need either 802.3ad or need to wait for better Solaris kernel support for ECMP-like behavior.

There are probably multiple ways to do this. One is to use "netstat -ni" to see that you've got non-trivial amounts of traffic on both links. Another would be to snoop each link to see what unicast traffic appears there. > How do I check if the [b]outbound[/b] load spreading is working properly? The same methods should work for that. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
