[OpenIndiana-discuss] no external connectivity on link

Ok, thanks for that. Here's what those commands you mentioned show:

root at openindiana:/export/home/bluethundr# dladm show-aggr -L
LINK        PORT         AGGREGATABLE SYNC COLL DIST DEFAULTED EXPIRED
aggr1       e1000g0      yes          no   no   no   no        no
--          e1000g1      yes          no   no   no   no        no

root at openindiana:/export/home/bluethundr# dladm show-aggr -x
LINK        PORT           SPEED DUPLEX   STATE     ADDRESS            PORTSTATE
aggr1       --             1000Mb full    up        0:25:90:b:34:0     --
            e1000g0        1000Mb full    up        0:25:90:b:34:0     attached
            e1000g1        1000Mb full    up        0:25:90:b:34:1     attached

so, it looks like the ports are attached, up, NOT in sync, not
defaulted and not expired. Apparently I need to be able to get them in
sync, but I'm not sure  how to do that.

Yep, that's what I was trying to say. The host can ping itself and as
of now I can ping the aggregated address from the host itself and from
another host on the network.

I basically left it alone overnight and when I went back to it this
morning I could ping external hosts from this machine and ssh into it
on that aggregated address whereas last night I could not which is why
I emailed the list! :)

Maybe it just takes a little while to work after it's setup?

Yep!

I'll have a look at your LACP article and see what I can do. Thanks
for your input!

Thanks and best regards,
Tim
