PARTIAL sun trunking

The answer is the default behavior for Sun systems is that all

interfaces will have the same mac address unless

you set

local-mac-address?=true

in the eeprom and reboot.

In regards to the instance number , they are per driver so you can have

two instance 0.

I ran ifconfig and brought up the trunk and all appears okay, however a

snoop on hme0 still shows packets bound for qfe0 trunk and vice-versa,

hence my confusion that I had actually configured my trunk head with

hme0 and not qfe0. This may be due to the interfaces have the same mac

address-guess I'll take a look at the snoop man pages a little more

closely.

Many Thanks for the quick response go to:
