I am trying to setup adapter teaming ot trunking on my Sunfire V240 Servers. I was told that I needed the Sun trunking software. I have version 1.3 and am trying to configure it, but it does not like the naming conventions for the v240's interfaces. The V240 refers to them as BGE and not ge. Is there a way to setup adapter Teaming with the built in Gigabit Ethernet ports on the V240?
Thanks
Andrew
Hi folks,
I would like to know if there are any patches from the bge driver for trunking software.
I find that trunking is not supported on the bge cards.
bash-3.00# nettr -setup 1 device=bge members=1,2
nettr: ioctl failed: I/O error
When I had a look at /var/log/messages, I find the error that this is not supported.
Nov 30 17:54:49 SUNFIRE1 trslm: [ID 243772 kern.notice] NOTICE: trunk link (bge1): DL_NOTIFY_ACK: Aggregation capability not supported: Notifications = 0x11f
I would like to know if there are any patches for the same.
Please feel free to reply to me at <a href="mailto:kumar.navin@wipro.com" target="_blank">kumar.navin@wipro.com</a>

depends if you're talking true trunking or just multipathing.
multipathing gives you two interfaces on the same subnet, with different IPs and roud robining on outgoing connections......easy and built into Solaris 8 and above.
trunking is added cost (license) IIRC, and requires specific cards, and support on your switches (ie. Cisco etherchannel)
