Virtual interface management

Use the vif commands to manage virtual interfaces

You manage virtual interfaces with the vif command. This command enables you to perform the following actions:

• Create either a single-mode or a multiple-mode trunk.
• Specify a preferred link to activate in a single-mode trunk.
• Add physical interfaces to a trunk.
• Display the status of a virtual interface.
• Display virtual interface statistics, such as the number of packets received and transmitted on each link that makes up a virtual interface. You can specify the time interval, in seconds, at which the statistics are displayed.
• Destroy a trunk.

Put these vif commands in /etc/rc

The following commands are not persistent:

• vif add
• vif create
• vif favor

Put these commands in the /etc/rc file to make them persistent across reboots.
