Designating a nonfavored interface

You might want to designate an interface as not favored so it will not be considered during random selection for an active interface in a single-mode vif.

Step

  1. Enter the following command: vif nofavor interface_name

    interface_name is the name of the interface you do not want to be considered during random selection for an active interface.

Example

You can specify the interface e2 to be "not favored" with the following command:

vif nofavor e2

Note: The operation performed using the vif nofavor command is not persistent across reboots unless the command is added to the /etc/rc file.
