If you bring the interfaces up and 2 or more of them have an IP address on the same subnet and they are on the same link you have an unsupported config. NWAM MUST NOT cause an unsupported or not recommended config. > I think the sys admin can use the > NWAM interface to change the setup after those interfaces > are brought up. I know that this is not automatic. It has to be automatic IPMP setup for same link same subnet OR NWAM must only bring up a single interface. If NWAM only brings up single interfaces at a time then I'd say you are avoiding the high end workstation and server room and NWAM is only about the laptop and simple desktop. > it is similar to setting up an interface using static IP > address. I don't see how it is similar. Having a single interface that NWAM broughtup with DHCP that the admin chooses to turn into a static IP address stored locally does not result in NWAM creating an unsupported config, it results in NWAM creating a default config that is perfectly valid, according to what we support of Solaris, that the admin chooses to be different for their deployment. If the admin wants a different IPMP config than what NWAM setup automatically then thats fine the admin can change that. -- Darren J Moffat
