Use the haping utility (/opt/VRTSvcs/bin/MultiNICB/haping) to test each interface before you configure the MultiNICB resource. This utility takes the interface as an argument. You can use this utility to perform a link test, a broadcast ping, or to ping a specific remote host. Veritas recommends that the administrator perform a test ping with the remote host before adding it to the NetworkHosts parameter. Note that the remote host should be on the same network as the interface from which you are performing the test ping.

Some examples of the command syntax are as follows:

Link test only on interface en0:

haping -l en0

Ping a remote host 10.10.10.10 from interface en0:

haping -g 10.10.10.10 en0
