You have been asked to troubleshoot the initial configuration of a virtual network connecting two...

There is no data-link named vswitch192.168.

We need to create an etherstub first.

See Note and example below for details.

Note: Create a VNIC in the system's global zone.

# dladm create-vnic -l data-link vnic-name

data-link is the name of the interface where the VNIC is to be configured.

-l link, --link=link

link can be a physical link or an etherstub.

vnic-name is the name that you want to give the VNIC.

For example, to create a VNIC named vnic0 on interface e1000g0, you would type the following:

# dladm create-vnic -l e1000g0 vnic0

Example: Creating a Virtual Network Without a Physical NIC

First, create an etherstub with name stub1:

# dladm create-etherstub stub1

Create two VNICs with names hello0 and test1 on the etherstub. This operation implicitly creates a virtual switch connecting hello0 and test1.

# dladm create-vnic -l stub1 hello0

# dladm create-vnic -l stub1 test1
