Hi Sanjay The described behaviour makes sense for my understanding of Network devices. For a Link failover you will need to have a property on a Bond or A link aggregation. A VNIC does not propagate these properties. Imagine it being a virtual cable to a virtual switch. Or in this case the nic. So long as that switch runs the Connection state shows as UP. Because the connection state to it's next hop ( the NIC in your case) is up. If the Uplink of the Switch is down you will need to monitor that on the Switch. Or the Physical NIC in this case.
Hope this helps Greetings Till On 11/20/18 06:28 AM, Sanjay Pokhriyal via openindiana-discuss wrote: > Hi,We faced an outage issue where one of the network connection went down.
