Perhaps a dumb question here, but why would you do that? The whole point of an etherstub object is that it's not connected to the outside world. And if you want a connection to the outside world, why not just create the vnic on top of a real link? That aside, I think you might get further using 'dladm create-simnet' rather than an etherstub. A simnet is a simulated Ethernet interface. As for the "STATE unknown" bit, I believe that's because etherstubs don't have physical links and thus don't have physical link status. It's probably harmless. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carls...@workingcode.com> _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
