Creating Oracle Solaris 11 Zones in a Domain

After creating the virtual NICs in Configuring Virtual NICs on Virtual Network Devices, create a zone that is associated with an available MAC address. For information about Oracle Solaris Zones, see Creating and Using Oracle Solaris Zones.

Use the zonecfg command to specify a MAC address to use for a zone:

zonecfg:zone-name> set mac-address=[MAC-address,auto]

You can either specify a value of auto to choose one of the available MAC addresses automatically or provide a specific alternate MAC address that you created with the ldm set-vnet command.
