Preface

Welcome to Connecting Systems Using Fixed Network Configuration in Oracle Solaris 11.1. This book is part of the series Establishing An Oracle Solaris 11.1 Network that cover basic topics and procedures to configure Oracle Solaris networks. This book assumes that you have already installed Oracle Solaris. You should be ready to configure your network or ready to configure any networking software that is required on your network.


Note - This Oracle Solaris release supports systems that use the SPARC and x86 families of processor architectures. The supported systems appear in the Oracle Solaris OS: Hardware Compatibility Lists. This document cites any implementation differences between the platform types.

For supported systems, see the Oracle Solaris OS: Hardware Compatibility Lists.
