Solaris DLMP Test VLAN

As usual use at own risk!

This may not apply to many people but I have an instance where we use DLMP which I really like. However one weakness I have in my environment if someone screw up a VLAN port configuration on a switch you may have serious networking issues and not understand what is happening. DLMP is not going to disable a port in an aggregation because there is link and it does not know if VLAN's are set or not. So I wrote a quick script I may play with more later to improve but this already helps with speeding up testing. Time is something you may not have a lot of when you have intermittent and very odd network behavior.

And of course you will need to take these ports you want to test out of the aggregation for testing and add back in if you need to.

Let me know if anyone find a better way for example DLMP built-in test or testing at a lower level in the networking model etc.
