zonecfg Command - Managing Network Virtualization and Network Resources in Oracle® Solaris 11.2

Language:

`zonecfg` Command

You use the enhanced zonecfg command to configure a zone's VNIC anet resource for an elastic virtual switch. You can set the following properties for the VNIC anet resource:

tenant – Specifies the name of the tenant. If you do not specify a value when configuring a zone, the system assigns the default value, sys-global.
vport – Specifies the name of the VPort. If you do not specify a value when configuring a zone, the system generates a VPort for the elastic virtual switch and the VPort inherits the elastic virtual switch properties.
evs – Specifies the name of an elastic virtual switch to which you must connect the VNIC anet resource.

For more information about the anet resource, see the anet description in Resource Type Properties in Introduction to Oracle Solaris Zones .

Note - Zone configuration must include the tenant name, elastic virtual switch name, and VPort name by which a VPort in a data center is uniquely identified. For more information about the zone configuration, see Creating and Using Oracle Solaris Zones .
