[OpenIndiana-discuss] Configure static IP with nwam

I managed to figure things out with nwam
I now have an interface with multiple static IP addresses.

So thanks for all the help so far

The only thing I want now is to have nwam configure an aggregated interface
with a static ip

I could add an interface for aggr1m but when I enabled the ncp, it didn't
show up in the list of interfaces

Does anyone here know if this is possble and if so, how?

Thanks again in advance

Kind regards/met vriendelijke groet,
