solaris 11 lacp dlmp link-aggregate

1. create an aggregate (aggr0) over net1 net2 and net3
( in vbox Adapter1=net3 Adapter2=net0 Adapter3=net1 Adapter4=net2 )

dladm create-aggr -l net1 -l net2 -l net3 aggr0
dladm modify-aggr -m trunk aggr0
(trunk is the default though)

dladm show-aggr -L
(what is the policy?
2 source and destination MAC
3 source and destination
4 upper layer protocol information contained in the packet. (tcp/udp port)

2. dladm modify-aggr -m dlmp aggr0
dladm show-aggr -L
(see the mode has changed to dlmp)

3. create an ip interface
ipadm create-ip aggr0

4. create an address
ipadm create-addr -T static -a 192.168.0.120/24 aggr0/v4

5. from another machine run 'ping -s 192.168.0.120'

6. remove cables from vm interfaces one by one.
your pings will succeed until you remove the last cable.

7. with dladm show-link you will see that the removed cables
have an effect.
