Configure the Network Interface (Oracle Solaris)

  1. Display the i40e(7D) instances.
    # dladm show-phys
    

    The output should include lines similar to this:

        
    LINK              MEDIA                STATE      SPEED  DUPLEX    DEVICE
    net2              Ethernet             unknown    0      unknown   ixgbe2
    net1              Ethernet             unknown    0      unknown   ixgbe1
    net0              Ethernet             up         1000   full      ixgbe0
    net3              Ethernet             unknown    0      unknown   ixgbe3
    net6              Ethernet             up         10     full      usbecm0
    net4              Ethernet             up         40000  full      i40e0
    net5              Ethernet             up         40000  full      i40e1
        
      
    
  2. Use the ipadm(1M) command to set up the i40e(7D) interfaces.

    Your ipadm command might look similar to this:

    # ipadm create-ip net4
    # ipadm create-addr -T static -a local=10.2.3.4/24 net4/v4

    This command creates another address 10.2.3.5/24 on interface net1, but marks the address down until explicitly marked up:

    # ipadm create-addr -T static -d -a 10.2.3.5/24 net4/v4

    This command marks the address object net4/v4a up that was previously marked down.

    # ipadm up-addr net4/v4a
