Overview

How to create a Link Aggregation (LACP) on Oracle Solaris 10, combining multiple network interfaces for increased throughput and redundancy.

Show Devices

dladm show-dev

First we need to know the names of the devices:

you should get something like this:

Create the Solaris 10 LACP

Now we can create the LACP using nge0 and nge1:

dladm create-aggr -l active -PL3 -d nge0 -d nge1 1

Set IP address and bring up the device

ifconfig aggr1 plumb netmask 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.1 up

In order to start the device on system start-up you need to create a file in /etc:

vi /etc/hostname.aggr1 10.0.0.1

You can write the IP-ADDRESS or HOST-NAME in the file.

All Done.
