The per IB-port physical datalinks described in Administering IPoIB Devices can also be used as administrative end points for EoIB datalinks. Beginning with the Oracle Solaris 11.2, release, you can create an EoIB datalink as a special eoib class object over an IB physical link using the dladm create-eoib command. These eoib class EoIB datalinks can host Ethernet data transfers just as regular Ethernet datalinks do. Additionally, you can also build VNICs and VLANs over these EoIB datalinks by using the dladm create-vnic and dladm create-vlan commands.
For information about configuring the network components, see Configuring and Managing Network Components in Oracle Solaris 11.3.
