[OpenIndiana-discuss] Nwam interfaces and aliases

[Stefan Müller-Wilken]

Jim,

can you be more specific on the syntax errors? What did nwamcfg complain about?

Cheers
 Stefan

Betreff: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Nwam interfaces and aliases

Hello all,

I am still a newb with nwam and ipadm, and recently failed to add an alias ipv4 interface to an nwam-managed interface (needed to add an address in a specific subnet to contact a factory-defaulted device, while the default address is from dhcp).

The old "ifconfig addif" said it added the alias but nothing happened. The dmesg logs revealed that nwam instantly killed the address it did not set up.

Adding with ipadm also failed for some syntax reason. Maybe the examples from internet are obsolete or are for oracle solaris.

Ultimately i created a vnic and ifconfig'ed that. But i'm still curious if a "proper" CLI-friendly method exists.

Thanks, Jim
