Networking Gurus,
I am in the ISV _engineering team working with partners to resolve any
issues. One of my telco ISVs it looking for some answers to counter
Linux in one of the deals... here is what the partner is looking for...
any help will be greatly appreciated...
" Today on Linux we use a bond network interface to enable
active/standby Ethernet links to insure network connectivity. This
works very well with our virtual IP address mechanism.
However, based on what I know about SUN Multipathing, this will not
work with our virtual IP address mechanism. The issue is that our
Virtual IP address homes itself on a single logical interface (in
Linux it is a "bond" interface), where-as multipathing exposes two
interfaces to the application.
Could you please put me in contact with someone who knows this aspect
of SUN Solaris 10 networking to see if there is a viable way to
implement this on Sol. 10?"
I believe what you need to do is use IPMP across two NICs, say
bge0 and bge1, then create a vni0 and use the "usesrc" option of
ifconfig on bge0/bge1 to tell it to use the IP address of vni0.
But I haven't done this before, so I might be wrong.
Darren
