Hi, IPMP and LACP are different technologies. IPMP is fail-over of IP's and load balancing of out-going traffic. LACP link aggregation will actually aggregate two or more physical interfaces into a single with the bandwidth aggregated and highly available. LACP link aggregation requires a switch that supports the LACP protocol. You can do IPMP from the guest domain level against vnet interfaces. LACP link aggregation has to be done from the primary or service domain against the physical interfaces with the dladm command. Once that is done, you can virtualize the aggregated interface into a VSW switch. Then create your vnets to your guests from that single VSW switch and your guests will automatically receive the benefits of LACP.
