[OpenIndiana-discuss] etherstub and bridge

[Anil Jangity]

I forgot to post the rest of the stuff.

global-zone# dladm show-vnic
LINK         OVER         SPEED  MACADDRESS        MACADDRTYPE         VID
work0        workswitch0  0      2:8:20:a9:b3:bd   random              0
global-zone# dladm show-link
LINK        CLASS     MTU    STATE    BRIDGE     OVER
igb0        phys      1500   up       zbridge    --
igb1        phys      1500   up       --         --
workswitch0 etherstub 1500   unknown  zbridge    --
work0       vnic      1500   unknown  --         workswitch0
zbridge0    bridge    1500   up       --         workswitch0 igb0
global-zone# ifconfig work0 plumb
ifconfig: cannot plumb work0: Interface already in use
global-zone# 


So, I have to configure the interface outside the zone and not in the zone itself? Why does it show "unknown"?
