i noted that, following information is missing
 member: sk0 flags=143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP>        
 ifmaxaddr 0 port 1 priority 128 path cost 2000000
 member: sk1 flags=143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP>
 ifmaxaddr 0 port 2 priority 128 path cost 200000

Now i need to know how to add the interfaces..?
Any command do u knw and can help me..?

Regards!!!
