3. Highlight the desired interfaces that you want to link in the
“Available Interfaces” window. This window lists all the P430
interfaces available on your machine.
4. Click “Add Interface.” If you make a mistake, highlight
the interface and use the “Remove” button; this puts it back in the
“Available Interfaces” window.
5. Select the PhobosLink Connection Type. The connection types are:
•
S
Y M M E T R I C

Use this setting if the ports on the P430 are connected
to a switch that supports and is configured for trunking. For example,
Cisco’s Fast EtherChannel or Sun Trunking.
•
A
SY M M E T R I C
:
Use this setting if the ports on the P430 in the group
are connected to a switch (or switches) that do not support trunking.
Under this setting, the P430 will balance the outgoing load across
all the ports in the group, but incoming data will only be received
on one port.

This setting enables only failover capability.
Only one port will be used at a time, with the link(s) serving as
backup. NOTE: that the Symmetric and Asymmetric trunking
modes also support failover. Use this setting only to obtain
failover functionality without trunking.
See Chapter 7 for more detail on the PhobosLink features.
6. Repeat the steps above to create other groups or trunks. You
can delete groups by highlighting the group and clicking on
“Delete Group.”

Click “OK.” See figure 6-2
Now use the ‘ifconfig’ command to activate the new interfaces
For example, to activate the interface plink0, type;
# ifconfig plink0 plumb
The interface is now active and can be configured. (See Solaris
manual for further instructions on configuring network interfaces.)
