A critical step in troubleshooting issues with network connectivity is to determine the current status of all of the SMF network services that are running on the system.
You can verify the current status of all of the SMF network services that are running on the system as follows:
$ svcs svc:/network/*
If the command output shows that a service is disabled or in a maintenance state, you can obtain more information about that particular service as follows:
$ svcs -xv service-name
For example, you would obtain more information about the svc:/network/loopback:default SMF network service as follows:
$ svcs -xv svc:/network/loopback:default svc:/network/loopback:default (loopback network interface) State: online since Thu Dec 05 19:30:54 2013 See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1M ifconfig See: /system/volatile/network-loopback:default.log Impact: None.
