2.Plumb up the interface aggrkey, which is aggr33 is this case:

#ifconfig aggr33 plumb

#ifconfig aggr33

aggr33: flags=1000842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 8 inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0

ether 0:3:ba:d8:9d:e8

#ifconfig aggr33 192.168.1.1/24 broadcast + up

#ifconfig aggr33

aggr33: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 8 inet 192.168.1.1 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255

ether 0:3:ba:d8:9d:e8

3. Show link-aggregation status again, and now the state should become attached:

# dladm	show-aggr
key: 33	(0x0021)	policy: L4	address: 0:3:ba:d8:9d:e8 (auto)
	device	address	speed		duplex	link	state
	nxge0	0:3:ba:d8:9d:e8	10000	Mbps	full	up	attached
	nxge1	0:3:ba:d8:9d:e9	10000	Mbps	full	up	attached

4. Use the dladm show-aggr-scommand to display statistics:

# dladm show-aggr -s
key: 33	ipackets	rbytes	opackets	obytes	%ipkts	%opkts
Total	0	0	16	1182
nxge0	0	0	16	1182	-	100.0
nxge1	0	0	0	0	-	0.0

5.Use the dladm show-aggr-Lcommand to display LACP specific information:

# dladm show-aggr -L
key: 33 (0x0021)		policy:		L4	address: 0:3:ba:d8:9d:e8 (auto)
	LACP mode: off			LACP timer: short
device	activity timeout aggregatable sync					coll dist defaulted expired
nxge0	passive	short	yes		no	no	no	no	no
nxge1	passive	short	yes		no	no	no	no	no

For more information refer to the man pages for dladm, man dladm.
