[OpenIndiana-discuss] Need good beginner guide to network configuration in OpenIndiana/OpenSolaris with NWAM

[Basil Kurian]

Hi Jonathan


Thanks , but  I'm running OpenIndiana without display. So what i need is
commandline methods.

I already configured  static networking with classic network configuration
in solaris ( with the help of the link you gave)

Now i just want to know how networking can be configured in commandline
using NWAM.
