I'm curious - have any of you guys played with Etherchannel for any other vendor besides Sun? And NT or something? Comments, feedback?
Ehhhh, I'm still having problems with ifconfig of virtual interfaces. I tried "ifconfig eta partner eta" and it took, although I don't know what that means semantically. I guess I should trip over the power cables of the partner and find out. Then I came up with another enlightened idea "ifconfig eta -partner 10.10.10.11" that does not do what "ifconfig eta partner 10.10.10.11" did in the past (Oh, BTW, thanks NetApp for changing the syntax of the command between revs). This is the error I received:
Mon Aug 30 10:33:47 CDT [nac101: de1]: duplicate IP address 10.10.10.11!! sent from ethernet address: 00:c0:95:c0:ff:ee
at which point I lost connectivity with the box I was working on. No, the box I was working on was not 10.10.10.11, it was 10.10.10.10. Upon a telnet timeout I found that the filer was magically reconfigured to 10.10.10.11.
I should add that I tried "ifconfig eta partner 10.10.10.11" before only to receive this error:
ifconfig: 10.10.10.11: bad vif partner address
The address is right! If I do the same with a real interface on the side being configured the command works.
I think I'll file several bug reports now.
