I am working on a project that includes the use of both IPMP and VLAN tagging.  An \
interesting point of discussion that has come up consists of what is the official \
supported configuration by Sun.

I.E:

Configure the primary interfaces with the test addresses and add the sub-interface as \
                the failover...
- hostname.bge43000
usa0300ux832-v43a netmask + broadcast + group vlan43 up
addif usa0300ux832 netmask + broadcast + deprecated -failover up
- hostname.ce43000
usa0300ux832-v43b netmask + broadcast + group vlan43 deprecated -failover standby up
- hostname.ce49000 
usa0300ux832-v49a netmask + broadcast + group vlan49 up
addif usa0300ux832-v49 netmask + broadcast + deprecated -failover up
- hostname.bge49000 
usa0300ux832-v49b netmask + broadcast + group vlan49 deprecated -failover standby up

or

Configure according to the existing blue prints which mangle up the long but clean \
                view of IPMP with the failover address taking the primary interface.
- hostname.bge43000
usa0300ux832 netmask + broadcast + group vlan43 up
addif usa0300ux832-v43a netmask + broadcast + deprecated -failover up
- hostname.ce43000
usa0300ux832-v43b netmask + broadcast + group vlan43 deprecated -failover standby up
- hostname.ce49000 
usa0300ux832-v49 netmask + broadcast + group vlan49 up
addif usa0300ux832-v49a netmask + broadcast + deprecated -failover up
- hostname.bge49000 
usa0300ux832-v49b netmask + broadcast + group vlan49 deprecated -failover standby up

It appears from my research the reason for the second was a bug in Solaris 8, can we \
expect that this documentation in the S9 and S10 manuals are incorrect and not \
updated and that the first configuration is now supported?

Any blueprint documentation lists the second configuration as the what is \
recommended, but is out of date by 3 years.  It also appears as much of the manual \
has been "replicated" rather than rewritten.

BTW, the rearchitecture is impressive!
