Creating and Using Oracle^® Solaris Kernel Zones

How to Add Multiple MAC Addresses to a Kernel Zone

This procedure shows how to add two automatically generated MAC addresses to a kernel zone.

1. Become a zone administrator.

   For more information, see Assigning Rights to Non-Root Users to Manage Zones in Creating and Using Oracle Solaris Zones.

2. Add the new MAC addresses.

   global$ zonecfg -z kz0
   zonecfg:kz0> add anet
   zonecfg:kz0:anet> add mac
   zonecfg:kz0:anet:mac> end
   zonecfg:kz0:anet> add mac
   zonecfg:kz0:anet:mac> end
   zonecfg:kz0:anet> end
   zonecfg:kz0> exit
   global#

3. Boot the kernel zone or apply the changes to the running kernel zone.

   global$ zoneadm -z kz0 apply
   zone 'kz0': Checking: Adding anet id=1
   zone 'kz0': Applying the changes

4. (Optional) Log in to the kernel zone and display the new MAC addresses.

   global$ zlogin kz0
   kz0# dladm show-phys -m net1
   LINK                SLOT     ADDRESS            INUSE CLIENT
   net1                primary  2:8:20:42:cf:83    yes   net1
                       1        2:8:20:f4:e1:b1    no    --
                       2        2:8:20:38:67:f3    no    --
