Hello.
I've got a old sun V100 which features two gigabit ports (using dc driver).
I've been trying to get lagg failover working. on SPARC64 7.0 RELEASE
On the box I put the following in /etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_dc0="UP"
ifconfig_dc1="UP"
cloned_interfaces="lagg0"
ifconfig_lagg0="laggproto failover laggport dc0 laggport dc1 50.40.0.3netmask
255.255.0.0
I even added this to my loader.conf (per the man page)
if_lagg_load="YES"
I'm not using a smart switch, so no STP.
What happens when I unplug the "master" interface, is that the network will
stop working. the second I type in 'ifconfig -v' to see what the situation
is, there is a small pause, and then the network fails over to the second
nic and starts working. So it seems that typing 'ifconfig' somehow wakes the
config up... Dmesg does not show the appropriate update (dc0: link state
changed to DOWN/dc0: link state changed to UP) until after i type ifconfig
either. Here is the before and after outfut of 'ifconfig -v'
BEFORE:
