Can I configure IPMP in Actie/Active to increase bandwidth of my interconnect?
For IPMP For active/active configurations please follow the sun doc instructions http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4554/6maoq027i?a=view IPMP active/active is known to load balance on transmit but serialize on a single interface for receive. So you are likely not to get the throughput you might have expected. Unless you experience explicit bandwidth limitations that require active/active, it is a recommended best practice to configure for maximum availability, as described in webiv note 283107.1.Please note too that debugging active/active interfaces at the network layer is cumbersome and time consuming. In an active/active configuration and the switch side link fails, you are likely to lose both interconnect connections, whereas active/standby, you would failover.
