The four onboard NICs as well as an extra 2-port NIC we installed are all GLDv3 devices. So, they take advantage of the new dladm command to do link aggregation. We had the networking guys configure the 6 ports on the Cisco switch (LACP protocol) and then we did the aggregation as follows:
dladm create-aggr -P L2 -l active -d e1000g0 -d e1000g1 -d e1000g2 -d e1000g3 -d e1000g4 -d e1000g5 18 ifconfig aggr18 plumb nvsun14 up One would only use Sun trunking if the NICs or software could not take advantage of the new GLDv3 stack. In particular, we found that the ce (Cassini NIC) devices will never take advantage to of the dladm aggregation. Their performance is also much poorer because they bury the CPU. So stay away from them. But dladm rocks! _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
