Hi exports,
I have a T4 with 4 port internal NIC which 2 ports are active and, external one with 4 ports as well with only 2 ports active. So the total of the ports are 4 out of 8. I have created an link aggregation called gnic0 with ports net0, net1, net6 and, net7 in it. I also created a vnic1 over gnic0. here is what I see
root@ap1g:~# dladm show-link
LINK CLASS MTU STATE OVER
net1 phys 1500 up --
net0 phys 1500 up --
net7 phys 1500 up --
net6 phys 1500 up --
net3 phys 1500 unknown --
net2 phys 1500 unknown --
net4 phys 1500 unknown --
net5 phys 1500 unknown --
net8 phys 1500 up --
gnic0 aggr 1500 up net0 net6 net7 net1
vnic1 vnic 1500 up gnic0
testzone/net0 vnic 1500 up gnic0
root@ap1g:~# dladm show-phys

root@ap1g:~# ipadm show-addr
ADDROBJ TYPE STATE ADDR
lo0/v4 static ok 127.0.0.1/8
vnic1/v4 static ok xxx.xxx.30.153/24
net8/v4 static ok 169.254.182.77/24
lo0/v6 static ok ::1/128
all 4 ports are up and, running. right? but, is the below behavior normal?
root@ap1g:~# ipadm show-if
IFNAME CLASS STATE ACTIVE OVER
lo0 loopback ok yes --
gnic0 ip down no --
vnic1 ip ok yes --
net1 ip down no --
net8 ip ok yes --
net6 ip disabled no -- <------------ disabled??? why
net7 ip disabled no -- <------------ disabled??? why
net0 ip disabled no -- <------------ disabled??? why
when i do snoop of all of my NICs I see traffic on all the network.
My server is running on vnic1.
Please shed some light on this.
thanks a bunch
