4. Enable unique Ethernet MAC addresses.
a. # eeprom 'local-mac-address?=true'
b. Reboot the server for the change to take effect.
5. Plumb both interfaces.
# ifconfig bge0 plumb # ifconfig bge1 plumb
6. Edit the /etc/hosts file.
a. Get three IP addresses from the same IP subnet before you start to edit.
• One IP is the data address that is used during a failure.
• The other two IP are the test addresses that must be defined for two interfaces.

The in.mpathd daemon uses the test addresses to detect network interface failures and
repairs. The daemon does not fail-over in the event of an interface failure.
b. Add the following lines to the /etc/hosts file. Substitute the three IP addresses you
obtained in the previous step.
10.7.0.1 MPSAP1-a # bge0 data address
10.7.0.2 MPSAP1-b # standby/test address for bge1
10.7.0.3 MPSAP1-a-bge0 # test address for bge0
7. Edit the /etc/netmasks file. Add the following line to the /etc/netmasks file.
10.7.0.0 255.255.0.0
8. Create the hostname.* files.
a. You must create the /etc/hostname.bge0 file first.
MPSAP1-a netmask + broadcast + failover up group ipmp_test \ addif MPSAP1-a-bge0
netmask + broadcast + deprecated -failover up
(No space between the hyphen [-] and failover.)
b. Create the /etc/hostname.bge1 file.
MPSAP1-b netmask + broadcast + deprecated group ipmp_test -failover standby up
c. Reboot the server for the configuration to take effect.
d. Run the following command to check that the in.mpathd daemon is running.
root@mpsap1 {10} ps -ef | grep in.mpathd
root 130 1 0 11:55:08 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/inet/in.mpathd -a
9. Check the configuration by issuing the following command:
