DESCRIPTION


The dladm command is used to administer data-links. A data-link is
represented in the system as a STREAMS DLPI (v2) interface which can be
plumbed under protocol stacks such as TCP/IP. Each data-link relies on
either a single network device or an aggregation of devices to send
packets to or receive packets from a network.


Each dladm subcommand operates on one of the following objects:

link

A datalink, identified by a name. In general, the name can use any
alphanumeric characters (or the underscore, _), but must start with
an alphabetic character and end with a number. A datalink name can be
at most 31 characters, and the ending number must be between 0 and
4294967294 (inclusive). The ending number must not begin with a zero.
Datalink names between 3 and 8 characters are recommended.

Some subcommands operate only on certain types or classes of
datalinks. For those cases, the following object names are used:

phys-link

A physical datalink.


vlan-link

A VLAN datalink.


aggr-link

An aggregation datalink (or a key; see NOTES).


ether-link

A physical Ethernet datalink.


wifi-link

A WiFi datalink.


vnic-link

A virtual network interface created on a link, an etherstub, or
an overlay. It is a pseudo device that can be treated as if it
were an network interface card on a machine.


iptun-link

An IP tunnel link.


dev

A network device, identified by concatenation of a driver name and an
instance number.


etherstub

An Ethernet stub can be used instead of a physical NIC to create
VNICs. VNICs created on an etherstub will appear to be connected
through a virtual switch, allowing complete virtual networks to be
built without physical hardware.


bridge

A bridge instance, identified by an administratively-chosen name. The
name may use any alphanumeric characters or the underscore, _, but
must start and end with an alphabetic character. A bridge name can be
at most 31 characters. The name default is reserved, as are all
names starting with SUNW.

Note that appending a zero (0) to a bridge name produces a valid link
name, used for observability.


secobj

A secure object, identified by an administratively-chosen name. The
name can use any alphanumeric characters, as well as underscore (_),
period (.), and hyphen (-). A secure object name can be at most 32
characters.


overlay

An overlay instance, identified by an administratively-chosen name.
An overlay can be used to create or join an existing software defined
network. VNICs created on an overlay will appear to be connected by
a local virtual switch and will also be connected to interfaces on
matching overlays provided by other hosts. For more information on
overlay devices, see overlay(5).


Options


Each dladm subcommand has its own set of options. However, many of the
subcommands have the following as a common option:

-R root-dir, --root-dir=root-dir

Specifies an alternate root directory where the operation-such as
creation, deletion, or renaming-should apply.


SUBCOMMANDS


When invoked with no arguments, dladm shows the link configuration
information, in the same way as dladm show-link.

The following subcommands are supported:

dladm help

Display brief command usage.

dladm show-link [-P] [-s [-i interval]] [[-p] -o field[,...]][link]

Show link configuration information (the default) or statistics,
either for all datalinks or for the specified link link. By default,
the system is configured with one datalink for each known network
device.

-o field[,...], --output=field[,...]

A case-insensitive, comma-separated list of output fields to
display. When not modified by the -s option (described below),
the field name must be one of the fields listed below, or the
special value all to display all fields. By default (without -o),
show-link displays all fields.

LINK

The name of the datalink.


CLASS

The class of the datalink. dladm distinguishes between the
following classes:

phys

A physical datalink. The show-phys subcommand displays
more detail for this class of datalink.


aggr

An IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation. The show-aggr
subcommand displays more detail for this class of
datalink.


vlan

A VLAN datalink. The show-vlan subcommand displays more
detail for this class of datalink.


vnic

A virtual network interface. The show-vnic subcommand
displays more detail for this class of datalink.


overlay

A virtual device that is used to create or join a
software defined network. The show-overlay subcommand
displays more detail for this class of datalink.


MTU

The maximum transmission unit size for the datalink being
displayed.


STATE

The link state of the datalink. The state can be up, down, or
unknown.


BRIDGE

The name of the bridge to which this link is assigned, if
any.


OVER

The physical datalink(s) over which the datalink is
operating. This applies to aggr, bridge, and vlan classes of
datalinks. A VLAN is created over a single physical datalink,
a bridge has multiple attached links, and an aggregation is
comprised of one or more physical datalinks.

When the -o option is used in conjunction with the -s option,
used to display link statistics, the field name must be one of
the fields listed below, or the special value all to display all
fields

LINK

The name of the datalink.


IPACKETS

Number of packets received on this link.


RBYTES

Number of bytes received on this link.


IERRORS

Number of input errors.


OPACKETS

Number of packets sent on this link.


OBYTES

Number of bytes sent on this link.


OERRORS

Number of output errors.


-p, --parsable

Display using a stable machine-parsable format. The -o option is
required with -p. See "Parsable Output Format", below.


-P, --persistent

Display the persistent link configuration.


-s, --statistics

Display link statistics.


-i interval, --interval=interval

Used with the -s option to specify an interval, in seconds, at
which statistics should be displayed. If this option is not
specified, statistics will be displayed only once.


dladm rename-link [-R root-dir] [-z zonename] link new-link

Rename link to new-link. This is used to give a link a meaningful
name, or to associate existing link configuration such as link
properties of a removed device with a new device. See the EXAMPLES
section for specific examples of how this subcommand is used.

-R root-dir, --root-dir=root-dir

See "Options," above.


-z zonename

A link assigned to a zone can only be renamed while the zone is
in the ready state.


dladm delete-phys phys-link

This command is used to delete the persistent configuration of a link
associated with physical hardware which has been removed from the
system. See the EXAMPLES section.


dladm show-phys [-m | -H | -P] [[-p] -o field[,...]] [phys-link]

Show the physical device and attributes of all physical links, or of
the named physical link. Without -P, only physical links that are
available on the running system are displayed.

-H

Show hardware resource usage, as returned by the NIC driver.
Output from -H displays the following elements:

LINK

A physical device corresponding to a NIC driver.


GROUP

A collection of rings.


GROUPTYPE

RX or TX. All rings in a group are of the same group type.


RINGS

A hardware resource used by a data link, subject to
assignment by a driver to different groups.


CLIENTS

MAC clients that are using the rings within a group.


-m

Show MAC addresses and related information. Output from -m
displays the following elements:

LINK

A physical device corresponding to a NIC driver.

SLOT

When a given physical device has multiple factory MAC
addresses, this indicates the slot of the corresponding MAC
address which can be used as part of a call to create-vnic.

ADDRESS

Displays the MAC address of the device.

INUSE

Displays whether or not a MAC Address is actively being used.

CLIENT

MAC clients that are using the address.

-o field, --output=field

A case-insensitive, comma-separated list of output fields to
display. The field name must be one of the fields listed below,
or the special value all, to display all fields. Note that if
either -H or -m are specified, then the valid options are those
described in their respective sections. For each link, the
following fields can be displayed:

LINK

The name of the datalink.


MEDIA

The media type provided by the physical datalink.


STATE

The state of the link. This can be up, down, or unknown.


SPEED

The current speed of the link, in megabits per second.


DUPLEX

For Ethernet links, the full/half duplex status of the link
is displayed if the link state is up. The duplex is displayed
as unknown in all other cases.


DEVICE

The name of the physical device under this link.


-p, --parsable

Display using a stable machine-parsable format. The -o option is
required with -p. See "Parsable Output Format", below.


-P, --persistent

This option displays persistent configuration for all links,
including those that have been removed from the system. The
output provides a FLAGS column in which the r flag indicates that
the physical device associated with a physical link has been
removed. For such links, delete-phys can be used to purge the
link's configuration from the system.


dladm create-aggr [-t] [-R root-dir] [-P policy] [-L mode] [-T time] [-u
address] -l ether-link1 [-l ether-link2...] aggr-link

Combine a set of links into a single IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation
named aggr-link. The use of an integer key to generate a link name
for the aggregation is also supported for backward compatibility.
Many of the *-aggr subcommands below also support the use of a key to
refer to a given aggregation, but use of the aggregation link name is
preferred. See the NOTES section for more information on keys.

dladm supports a number of port selection policies for an aggregation
of ports. (See the description of the -P option, below.) If you do
not specify a policy, create-aggr uses the default, the L4 policy,
described under the -P option.

-l ether-link, --link=ether-link

Each Ethernet link (or port) in the aggregation is specified
using an -l option followed by the name of the link to be
included in the aggregation. Multiple links are included in the
aggregation by specifying multiple -l options. For backward
compatibility with previous versions of Solaris, the dladm
command also supports the using the -d option (or --dev) with a
device name to specify links by their underlying device name. The
other *-aggr subcommands that take -l options also accept -d.


-t, --temporary

Specifies that the aggregation is temporary. Temporary
aggregations last until the next reboot.


-R root-dir, --root-dir=root-dir

See "Options," above.


-P policy, --policy=policy

Specifies the port selection policy to use for load spreading of
outbound traffic. The policy specifies which dev object is used
to send packets. A policy is a list of one or more layers
specifiers separated by commas. A layer specifier is one of the
following:

L2

Select outbound device according to source and destination
MAC addresses of the packet.


L3

Select outbound device according to source and destination IP
addresses of the packet.


L4

Select outbound device according to the upper layer protocol
information contained in the packet. For TCP and UDP, this
includes source and destination ports. For IPsec, this
includes the SPI (Security Parameters Index).

For example, to use upper layer protocol information, the
following policy can be used:

-P L4


Note that policy L4 is the default.

To use the source and destination MAC addresses as well as the
source and destination IP addresses, the following policy can be
used:

-P L2,L3


-L mode, --lacp-mode=mode

Specifies whether LACP should be used and, if used, the mode in
which it should operate. Supported values are off, active or
passive.


-T time, --lacp-timer=time

Specifies the LACP timer value. The supported values are short or
long.


-u address, --unicast=address

Specifies a fixed unicast hardware address to be used for the
aggregation. If this option is not specified, then an address is
automatically chosen from the set of addresses of the component
devices.


dladm modify-aggr [-t] [-R root-dir] [-P policy] [-L mode] [-T time] [-u
address] aggr-link

Modify the parameters of the specified aggregation.

-t, --temporary

Specifies that the modification is temporary. Temporary
aggregations last until the next reboot.


-R root-dir, --root-dir=root-dir

See "Options," above.


-P policy, --policy=policy

Specifies the port selection policy to use for load spreading of
outbound traffic. See dladm create-aggr for a description of
valid policy values.


-L mode, --lacp-mode=mode

Specifies whether LACP should be used and, if used, the mode in
which it should operate. Supported values are off, active, or
passive.


-T time, --lacp-timer=time

Specifies the LACP timer value. The supported values are short or
long.


-u address, --unicast=address

Specifies a fixed unicast hardware address to be used for the
aggregation. If this option is not specified, then an address is
automatically chosen from the set of addresses of the component
devices.


dladm delete-aggr [-t] [-R root-dir] aggr-link

Deletes the specified aggregation.

-t, --temporary

Specifies that the deletion is temporary. Temporary deletions
last until the next reboot.


-R root-dir, --root-dir=root-dir

See "Options," above.


dladm add-aggr [-t] [-R root-dir] -l ether-link1 [--link=ether-link2...]
aggr-link

Adds links to the specified aggregation.

-l ether-link, --link=ether-link

Specifies an Ethernet link to add to the aggregation. Multiple
links can be added by supplying multiple -l options.


-t, --temporary

Specifies that the additions are temporary. Temporary additions
last until the next reboot.


-R root-dir, --root-dir=root-dir

See "Options," above.


dladm remove-aggr [-t] [-R root-dir] -l ether-link1 [--l=ether-link2...]
aggr-link

Removes links from the specified aggregation.

-l ether-link, --link=ether-link

Specifies an Ethernet link to remove from the aggregation.
Multiple links can be added by supplying multiple -l options.


-t, --temporary

Specifies that the removals are temporary. Temporary removal last
until the next reboot.


-R root-dir, --root-dir=root-dir

See "Options," above.


dladm show-aggr [-PLx] [-s [-i interval]] [[-p] -o field[,...]] [aggr-
link]

Show aggregation configuration (the default), LACP information, or
statistics, either for all aggregations or for the specified
aggregation.

By default (with no options), the following fields can be displayed:

LINK

The name of the aggregation link.


POLICY

The LACP policy of the aggregation. See the create-aggr -P option
for a description of the possible values.


ADDRPOLICY

Either auto, if the aggregation is configured to automatically
configure its unicast MAC address (the default if the -u option
was not used to create or modify the aggregation), or fixed, if
-u was used to set a fixed MAC address.


LACPACTIVITY

The LACP mode of the aggregation. Possible values are off,
active, or passive, as set by the -l option to create-aggr or
modify-aggr.


LACPTIMER

The LACP timer value of the aggregation as set by the -T option
of create-aggr or modify-aggr.


FLAGS

A set of state flags associated with the aggregation. The only
possible flag is f, which is displayed if the administrator
forced the creation the aggregation using the -f option to
create-aggr. Other flags might be defined in the future.

The show-aggr command accepts the following options:

-L, --lacp

Displays detailed LACP information for the aggregation link and
each underlying port. Most of the state information displayed by
this option is defined by IEEE 802.3. With this option, the
following fields can be displayed:

LINK

The name of the aggregation link.


PORT

The name of one of the underlying aggregation ports.


AGGREGATABLE

Whether the port can be added to the aggregation.


SYNC

If yes, the system considers the port to be synchronized and
part of the aggregation.


COLL

If yes, collection of incoming frames is enabled on the
associated port.


DIST

If yes, distribution of outgoing frames is enabled on the
associated port.


DEFAULTED

If yes, the port is using defaulted partner information (that
is, has not received LACP data from the LACP partner).


EXPIRED

If yes, the receive state of the port is in the EXPIRED
state.


-x, --extended

Display additional aggregation information including detailed
information on each underlying port. With -x, the following
fields can be displayed:

LINK

The name of the aggregation link.


PORT

The name of one of the underlying aggregation ports.


SPEED

The speed of the link or port in megabits per second.


DUPLEX

The full/half duplex status of the link or port is displayed
if the link state is up. The duplex status is displayed as
unknown in all other cases.


STATE

The link state. This can be up, down, or unknown.


ADDRESS

The MAC address of the link or port.


PORTSTATE

This indicates whether the individual aggregation port is in
the standby or attached state.


-o field[,...], --output=field[,...]

A case-insensitive, comma-separated list of output fields to
display. The field name must be one of the fields listed above,
or the special value all, to display all fields. The fields
applicable to the -o option are limited to those listed under
each output mode. For example, if using -L, only the fields
listed under -L, above, can be used with -o.


-p, --parsable

Display using a stable machine-parsable format. The -o option is
required with -p. See "Parsable Output Format", below.


-P, --persistent

Display the persistent aggregation configuration rather than the
state of the running system.


-s, --statistics

Displays aggregation statistics.


-i interval, --interval=interval

Used with the -s option to specify an interval, in seconds, at
which statistics should be displayed. If this option is not
specified, statistics will be displayed only once.


dladm create-bridge [ -P protect] [-R root-dir] [ -p priority] [ -m max-
age] [ -h hello-time] [ -d forward-delay] [ -f force-protocol] [-l
link...] bridge-name

Create an 802.1D bridge instance and optionally assign one or more
network links to the new bridge. By default, no bridge instances are
present on the system.

In order to bridge between links, you must create at least one bridge
instance. Each bridge instance is separate, and there is no
forwarding connection between bridges.

-P protect, --protect=protect

Specifies a protection method. The defined protection methods are
stp for the Spanning Tree Protocol and trill for TRILL, which is
used on RBridges. The default value is stp.


-R root-dir, --root-dir=root-dir

See "Options," above.


-p priority, --priority=priority

Specifies the Bridge Priority. This sets the IEEE STP priority
value for determining the root bridge node in the network. The
default value is 32768. Valid values are 0 (highest priority) to
61440 (lowest priority), in increments of 4096.

If a value not evenly divisible by 4096 is used, the system
silently rounds downward to the next lower value that is
divisible by 4096.


-m max-age, --max-age=max-age

Specifies the maximum age for configuration information in
seconds. This sets the STP Bridge Max Age parameter. This value
is used for all nodes in the network if this node is the root
bridge. Bridge link information older than this time is
discarded. It defaults to 20 seconds. Valid values are from 6 to
40 seconds. See the -d forward-delay parameter for additional
constraints.


-h hello-time, --hello-time=hello-time

Specifies the STP Bridge Hello Time parameter. When this node is
the root node, it sends Configuration BPDUs at this interval
throughout the network. The default value is 2 seconds. Valid
values are from 1 to 10 seconds. See the -d forward-delay
parameter for additional constraints.


-d forward-delay, --forward-delay=forward-delay

Specifies the STP Bridge Forward Delay parameter. When this node
is the root node, then all bridges in the network use this timer
to sequence the link states when a port is enabled. The default
value is 15 seconds. Valid values are from 4 to 30 seconds.

Bridges must obey the following two constraints:

2 * (forward-delay - 1.0) >= max-age

max-age >= 2 * (hello-time + 1.0)


Any parameter setting that would violate those constraints is
treated as an error and causes the command to fail with a
diagnostic message. The message provides valid alternatives to
the supplied values.


-f force-protocol, --force-protocol=force-protocol

Specifies the MSTP forced maximum supported protocol. The default
value is 3. Valid values are non-negative integers. The current
implementation does not support RSTP or MSTP, so this currently
has no effect. However, to prevent MSTP from being used in the
future, the parameter may be set to 0 for STP only or 2 for STP
and RSTP.


-l link, --link=link

Specifies one or more links to add to the newly-created bridge.
This is similar to creating the bridge and then adding one or
more links, as with the add-bridge subcommand. However, if any of
the links cannot be added, the entire command fails, and the new
bridge itself is not created. To add multiple links on the same
command line, repeat this option for each link. You are permitted
to create bridges without links. For more information about link
assignments, see the add-bridge subcommand.

Bridge creation and link assignment require the PRIV_SYS_DL_CONFIG
privilege. Bridge creation might fail if the optional bridging
feature is not installed on the system.


dladm modify-bridge [ -P protect] [-R root-dir] [ -p priority] [ -m max-
age] [ -h hello-time] [ -d forward-delay] [ -f force-protocol] [-l
link...] bridge-name

Modify the operational parameters of an existing bridge. The options
are the same as for the create-bridge subcommand, except that the -l
option is not permitted. To add links to an existing bridge, use the
add-bridge subcommand.

Bridge parameter modification requires the PRIV_SYS_DL_CONFIG
privilege.


dladm delete-bridge [-R root-dir] bridge-name

Delete a bridge instance. The bridge being deleted must not have any
attached links. Use the remove-bridge subcommand to deactivate links
before deleting a bridge.

Bridge deletion requires the PRIV_SYS_DL_CONFIG privilege.

The -R (--root-dir) option is the same as for the create-bridge
subcommand.


dladm add-bridge [-R root-dir] -l link [-l link...] bridge-name

Add one or more links to an existing bridge. If multiple links are
specified, and adding any one of them results in an error, the
command fails and no changes are made to the system.

Link addition to a bridge requires the PRIV_SYS_DL_CONFIG privilege.

A link may be a member of at most one bridge. An error occurs when
you attempt to add a link that already belongs to another bridge. To
move a link from one bridge instance to another, remove it from the
current bridge before adding it to a new one.

The links assigned to a bridge must not also be VLANs, VNICs, or
tunnels. Only physical Ethernet datalinks, aggregation datalinks,
wireless links, and Ethernet stubs are permitted to be assigned to a
bridge.

Links assigned to a bridge must all have the same MTU. This is
checked when the link is assigned. The link is added to the bridge in
a deactivated form if it is not the first link on the bridge and it
has a differing MTU.

Note that systems using bridging should not set the eeprom(8) local-
mac-address? variable to false.

The options are the same as for the create-bridge subcommand.


dladm remove-bridge [-R root-dir] -l link [-l link...] bridge-name

Remove one or more links from a bridge instance. If multiple links
are specified, and removing any one of them would result in an error,
the command fails and none are removed.

Link removal from a bridge requires the PRIV_SYS_DL_CONFIG privilege.

The options are the same as for the create-bridge subcommand.


dladm show-bridge [-flt] [-s [-i interval]] [[-p] -o field,...] [bridge-
name]

Show the running status and configuration of bridges, their attached
links, learned forwarding entries, and TRILL nickname databases. When
showing overall bridge status and configuration, the bridge name can
be omitted to show all bridges. The other forms require a specified
bridge.

The show-bridge subcommand accepts the following options:

-i interval, --interval=interval

Used with the -s option to specify an interval, in seconds, at
which statistics should be displayed. If this option is not
specified, statistics will be displayed only once.


-s, --statistics

Display statistics for the specified bridges or for a given
bridge's attached links. This option cannot be used with the -f
and -t options.


-p, --parsable

dladm create-vlan [-ft] [-R root-dir] -l ether-link -v vid [vlan-link]

Create a tagged VLAN link with an ID of vid over Ethernet link ether-
link. The name of the VLAN link can be specified as vlan-link. If the
name is not specified, a name will be automatically generated
(assuming that ether-link is namePPA) as:

<name><1000 * vlan-tag + PPA>


For example, if ether-link is bge1 and vid is 2, the name generated
is bge2001.

Display the persistent VLAN configuration rather than the state
of the running system.


dladm scan-wifi [[-p] -o field[,...]] [wifi-link]

Scans for WiFi networks, either on all WiFi links, or just on the
specified wifi-link.

By default, currently all fields but BSSTYPE are displayed.

-o field[,...], --output=field[,...]

A case-insensitive, comma-separated list of output fields to
display. The field name must be one of the fields listed below,
or the special value all to display all fields. For each WiFi
network found, the following fields can be displayed:

LINK

The name of the link the WiFi network is on.


ESSID

The ESSID (name) of the WiFi network.


BSSID

Either the hardware address of the WiFi network's Access
Point (for BSS networks), or the WiFi network's randomly
generated unique token (for IBSS networks).


SEC

Either none for a WiFi network that uses no security, wep for
a WiFi network that requires WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy),
or wpa for a WiFi network that requires WPA (Wi-Fi Protected
Access).


MODE

The supported connection modes: one or more of a, b, or g.


STRENGTH

The strength of the signal: one of excellent, very good,
good, weak, or very weak.


SPEED

The maximum speed of the WiFi network, in megabits per
second.


BSSTYPE

required with -p. See "Parsable Output Format", below.


dladm connect-wifi [-e essid] [-i bssid] [-k key,...] [-s none | wep |
wpa] [-a open|shared] [-b bss|ibss] [-c] [-m a|b|g] [-T time] [wifi-link]

Connects to a WiFi network. This consists of four steps: discovery,
filtration, prioritization, and association. However, to enable
connections to non-broadcast WiFi networks and to improve
performance, if a BSSID or ESSID is specified using the -e or -i
options, then the first three steps are skipped and connect-wifi
immediately attempts to associate with a BSSID or ESSID that matches
the rest of the provided parameters. If this association fails, but
there is a possibility that other networks matching the specified
criteria exist, then the traditional discovery process begins as
specified below.

The discovery step finds all available WiFi networks on the specified
WiFi link, which must not yet be connected. For administrative
convenience, if there is only one WiFi link on the system, wifi-link
can be omitted.

Once discovery is complete, the list of networks is filtered
according to the value of the following options:

-e essid, --essid=essid

Networks that do not have the same essid are filtered out.


-b bss|ibss, --bsstype=bss|ibss

Networks that do not have the same bsstype are filtered out.


-m a|b|g, --mode=a|b|g

Networks not appropriate for the specified 802.11 mode are
filtered out.


-k key,..., --key=key, ...

Use the specified secobj named by the key to connect to the
network. Networks not appropriate for the specified keys are
filtered out.


-s none|wep|wpa, --sec=none|wep|wpa

Networks not appropriate for the specified security mode are
filtered out.

Next, the remaining networks are prioritized, first by signal
strength, and then by maximum speed. Finally, an attempt is made to
associate with each network in the list, in order, until one succeeds
or no networks remain.

In addition to the options described above, the following options
also control the behavior of connect-wifi:

-a open|shared, --auth=open|shared

Connect using the specified authentication mode. By default, open
and shared are tried in order.


-c, --create-ibss

Used with -b ibss to create a new ad-hoc network if one matching
the specified ESSID cannot be found. If no ESSID is specified,
then -c -b ibss always triggers the creation of a new ad-hoc
network.


-T time, --timeout=time

Specifies the number of seconds to wait for association to
succeed. If time is forever, then the associate will wait
indefinitely. The current default is ten seconds, but this might
change in the future. Timeouts shorter than the default might not
succeed reliably.


-k key,..., --key=key,...

In addition to the filtering previously described, the specified
keys will be used to secure the association. The security mode to
use will be based on the key class; if a security mode was
explicitly specified, it must be compatible with the key class.
All keys must be of the same class.

For security modes that support multiple key slots, the slot to
place the key will be specified by a colon followed by an index.
Therefore, -k mykey:3 places mykey in slot 3. By default, slot 1
is assumed. For security modes that support multiple keys, a
comma-separated list can be specified, with the first key being
the active key.


dladm disconnect-wifi [-a] [wifi-link]

Disconnect from one or more WiFi networks. If wifi-link specifies a
connected WiFi link, then it is disconnected. For administrative
convenience, if only one WiFi link is connected, wifi-link can be
omitted.

-a, --all-links

Disconnects from all connected links. This is primarily intended
for use by scripts.


dladm show-wifi [[-p] -o field,...] [wifi-link]

Shows WiFi configuration information either for all WiFi links or for
the specified link wifi-link.

-o field,..., --output=field

A case-insensitive, comma-separated list of output fields to
display. The field name must be one of the fields listed below,
or the special value all, to display all fields. For each WiFi
link, the following fields can be displayed:

LINK

The name of the link being displayed.


STATUS

Either connected if the link is connected, or disconnected if
it is not connected. If the link is disconnected, all
remaining fields have the value --.


ESSID

The ESSID (name) of the connected WiFi network.


BSSID

Either the hardware address of the WiFi network's Access
Point (for BSS networks), or the WiFi network's randomly
generated unique token (for IBSS networks).

-m value | keyword, --mac-address=value | keyword

Sets the VNIC's MAC address based on the specified value or
keyword. If value is not a keyword, it is interpreted as a
unicast MAC address, which must be valid for the underlying NIC.
The following special keywords can be used:

factory [-n slot-identifier],
factory [--slot=slot-identifier]

Assign a factory MAC address to the VNIC. When a factory MAC
address is requested, -m can be combined with the -n option
to specify a MAC address slot to be used. If -n is not
specified, the system will choose the next available factory
MAC address. The -m option of the show-phys subcommand can be
used to display the list of factory MAC addresses, their slot
identifiers, and their availability.


random [-r prefix],
random [--mac-prefix=prefix]

Assign a random MAC address to the VNIC. A default prefix
consisting of a valid IEEE OUI with the local bit set will be

if etherstub is specified.


dladm create-iptun [-t] [-R root-dir] -T type [-a
{local|remote}=<addr>[,...]] iptun-link

Create an IP tunnel link named iptun-link. Such links can
additionally be protected with IPsec using ipsecconf(8).

An IP tunnel is conceptually comprised of two parts: a virtual link
between two or more IP nodes, and an IP interface above this link
that allows the system to transmit and receive IP packets
encapsulated by the underlying link. This subcommand creates a
virtual link. The ifconfig(8) command is used to configure IP
interfaces above the link.

-T type, --tunnel-type=type

Specifies the type of tunnel to be created. The type must be one
of the following:

ipv4

A point-to-point, IP-over-IP tunnel between two IPv4 nodes.
This type of tunnel requires IPv4 source and destination
addresses to function. IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces can be
plumbed above such a tunnel to create IPv4-over-IPv4 and
IPv6-over-IPv4 tunneling configurations.


ipv6

A point-to-point, IP-over-IP tunnel between two IPv6 nodes as
defined in IETF RFC 2473. This type of tunnel requires IPv6
source and destination addresses to function. IPv4 and IPv6
interfaces can be plumbed above such a tunnel to create
IPv4-over-IPv6 and IPv6-over-IPv6 tunneling configurations.


6to4

A 6to4, point-to-multipoint tunnel as defined in IETF RFC
3056. This type of tunnel requires an IPv4 source address to
function. An IPv6 interface is plumbed on such a tunnel link
to configure a 6to4 router.


-a local=addr

Literal IP address or hostname corresponding to the tunnel
source. If a hostname is specified, it will be resolved to IP
addresses, and one of those IP addresses will be used as the
tunnel source. Because IP tunnels are created before naming
services have been brought online during the boot process, it is
important that any hostname used be included in /etc/hosts.


-a remote=addr

Literal IP address or hostname corresponding to the tunnel
destination.


dladm modify-iptun [-t] [-R root-dir] [-a {local|remote}=<addr>[,...]]
iptun-link

Modify the parameters of the specified IP tunnel.

-t, --temporary

Specifies that the modification is temporary. Temporary
modifications last until the next reboot.


-R root-dir, --root-dir=root-dir

See "Options," above.


-a local=addr

Specifies a new tunnel source address. See create-iptun for a
description.


-a remote=addr

Specifies a new tunnel destination address. See create-iptun for
a description.


dladm delete-iptun [-t] [-R root-dir] iptun-link

Delete the specified IP tunnel link.

-t, --temporary

Specifies that the deletion is temporary. Temporary deletions
last until the next reboot.


-R root-dir, --root-dir=root-dir

See "Options," above.


dladm show-iptun [-P] [[-p] -o field[,...]] [iptun-link]

Show IP tunnel link configuration for a single IP tunnel or all IP
tunnels.

-P, --persistent

Display the persistent IP tunnel configuration.


-p, --parsable

Display using a stable machine-parsable format. The -o option is
required with -p. See "Parsable Output Format", below.


-o field[,...], --output=field[,...]

A case-insensitive, comma-separated list of output fields to
display. The field name must be one of the fields listed below,
or the special value all, to display all fields. By default
(without -o), show-iptun displays all fields.

LINK

The name of the IP tunnel link.


TYPE

Type of tunnel as specified by the -T option of create-iptun.


FLAGS

A set of flags associated with the IP tunnel link. Possible
flags are:

s

The IP tunnel link is protected by IPsec policy. To
display the IPsec policy associated with the tunnel link,
enter:

# ipsecconf -ln -i tunnel-link


See ipsecconf(8) for more details on how to configure
IPsec policy.


i

The IP tunnel link was implicitly created with
ifconfig(8), and will be automatically deleted when it is
no longer referenced (that is, when the last IP interface
over the tunnel is unplumbed). See ifconfig(8) for
details on implicit tunnel creation.


SOURCE

The tunnel source address.


DESTINATION

The tunnel destination address.


dladm create-overlay [-t] -e encap -s search -v vnetid [-p
prop=value[,...]] overlay

Create an overlay device named overlay.

Overlay devices are similar to etherstubs. VNICs can be created on
top of them. However, unlike an etherstub which is local to the
system, an overlay device can be configured to communicate to remote
hosts, providing a means for network virtualization. The way in which
it does this is described by the encapsulation module and the search
plugin. For more information on these, see overlay(5).

An overlay device has a series of required and optional properties.
These properties vary based upon the search and encapsulation modules
and are fully specified in overlay(5). Not every property needs to be
specified - some have default values which will be used if nothing
specific is specified. For example, the default port for VXLAN comes
from its IANA standard. If a required property is missing, the
command will fail and inform you of the missing properties.

-t, --temporary

Specifies that the overlay is temporary. Temporary overlays last
until the next reboot.


-e encap, --encap=encap

Use encap as the encapsulation plugin for the overlay device
overlay. The encapsulation plugin determines how packets are
transformed before being put on the wire.


-s search, --search=search

Use search as the search plugin for overlay. The search plugin
determines how non-local targets are found and where packets are
directed to.


-p prop=value,..., --prop prop=value,...

A comma-separated list of properties to set to the specified
values.


-v vnetid, --vnetid=vnetid

Sets the virtual networking identifier to vnetid. A virtual
network identifier determines is similar to a VLAN identifier, in
that it identifies a unique virtual network. All overlay devices
on the system share the same space for the virtual network
identifier. However, the valid range of identifiers is determined
by the encapsulation plugin specified by -e.


dladm delete-overlay [-t] overlay

Delete the specified overlay. This will fail if there are VNICs on
top of the device.

-t, --temporary

Specifies that the deletion is temporary. Temporary deletions
last until the next reboot.


dladm modify-overlay -d mac | -f | -s mac=ip:port overlay

Modifies the target tables for the specified overlay.

The different options allow for different ways of modifying the
target table. One of -d, -f, and -s is required. This is not
applicable for all kinds of overlay devices. For more
information, see overlay(5).

-d mac, --delete-entry=mac

Deletes the entry for mac from the target table for overlay.
Note, if a lookup is pending or outstanding, this does not
cancel it or stop it from updating the value.


-f, --flush-table

Flushes all values in the target table for overlay.


-s mac=value, --set-entry=mac=value

Sets the value of overlay's target table entry for mac to the
specified value. The specified value varies upon the
encapsulation plugin. The value may be a combination of a MAC
address, IP address, and port. Generally, this looks like
[mac,][IP:][port]. If a component is the last one, then there
is no need for a separator. eg. if just the MAC address or IP
is needed, it would look like mac and IP respectively.


dladm show-overlay [ -f | -t ] [[-p] -o field[,...]] [overlay]

Shows overlay configuration (the default), internal target tables
(-t), or the FMA state (-f), either for all overlays or the
specified overlay.

By default (with neither -f or -t specified), the following
fields will be displayed:

LINK

The name of the overlay.


PROPERTY

The name of the property.


PERM

The read/write permissions of the property. The value shown
is one of r- or rw.


VALUE

The current property value. If the value is not set, it is
shown as --. If it is unknown, the value is shown as ?.


DEFAULT

The default value of the property. If the property has no
default value, -- is shown.


POSSIBLE

A comma-separated list of the values the property can have.
If the values span a numeric range, min - max might be shown
as shorthand. If the possible values are unknown or
unbounded, -- is shown.


When the -f option is displayed, the following fields will be
displayed:

LINK

The name of the overlay.


STATUS

Either ONLINE or DEGRADED.


DETAILS

When the overlay's status is ONLINE, then this has the value
--. Otherwise, when it is DEGRADED, this field provides a
more detailed explanation as to why it's degraded.


When the -t option is displayed, the following fields will be
displayed:

LINK

The name of the overlay.


TARGET

The target MAC address of a table entry.


DESTINATION

The address that an encapsulated packet will be sent to when
a packet has the address specified by TARGET.

The show-overlay command supports the following options:


-f, --fma

Displays information about an overlay device's FMA state. For
more information on the target table, see overlay(5).


-o field[,...], --output=field

A case-insensitive, comma-separated list of output fields to
display. The field name must be one of the fields listed
above, or the special value all, to display all fields. The
fields applicable to the -o option are limited to those
listed under each output mode. For example, if using -L, only
the fields listed under -L, above, can be used with -o.


-p, --parsable

Display using a stable machine-parsable format. The -o option
is required with -p. See "Parsable Output Format", below.


-t, --target

Displays information about an overlay device's target table.
For more information on the target table, see overlay(5).


dladm show-usage [-a] -f filename [-p plotfile -F format] [-s time]
[-e time] [link]

Show the historical network usage from a stored extended
accounting file. Configuration and enabling of network
accounting through acctadm(8) is required. The default output
will be the summary of network usage for the entire period of
time in which extended accounting was enabled.

-a

Display all historical network usage for the specified period
of time during which extended accounting is enabled. This
includes the usage information for the links that have
already been deleted.


-f filename, --file=filename

Read extended accounting records of network usage from
filename.


-F format, --format=format

Specifies the format of plotfile that is specified by the -p
option. As of this release, gnuplot is the only supported
format.


-p plotfile, --plot=plotfile

Write network usage data to a file of the format specified by
the -F option, which is required.


-s time, --start=time
-e time, --stop=time

Start and stop times for data display. Time is in the format
MM/DD/YYYY,hh:mm:ss.


link

If specified, display the network usage only for the named
link. Otherwise, display network usage for all links.


Parsable Output Format


Many dladm subcommands have an option that displays output in a machine-
parsable format. The output format is one or more lines of colon (:)
delimited fields. The fields displayed are specific to the subcommand
used and are listed under the entry for the -o option for a given
subcommand. Output includes only those fields requested by means of the
-o option, in the order requested.


When you request multiple fields, any literal colon characters are
escaped by a backslash (\) before being output. Similarly, literal
backslash characters will also be escaped (\\). This escape format is
parsable by using shell read(1) functions with the environment variable
IFS=: (see EXAMPLES, below). Note that escaping is not done when you
request only a single field.

General Link Properties


The following general link properties are supported:

allow-all-dhcp-cids

One of true or false, to indicate whether or not all DHCP Client
Identifiers should be permitted on this interface when DHCP spoofing
protection is being used. This can be useful in cases where a DHCP
client is using RFC 4361-style Client Identifiers, which are based on
a value that is opaque to the Global Zone, but enforcement of MAC
addresses in DHCP packets is still desired.


allowed-dhcp-cids

A comma-separated list of DHCP Client Identifiers that are allowed on
the interface.

Client identifiers can be written in three different formats: a
string of hexadecimal characters prefixed by 0x, indicating the exact
bytes used in the Client Identifier; an RFC 3315 DUID of the form
"1.<hardware type>.<time>.<link-layer address>" (DUID-LLT),
"2.<enterprise number>.<hex string>" (DUID-EN), or
"3.<hardware type>.<link-layer address>" (DUID-LL); or a string of
characters whose byte values should be used as the Client Identifier.

When specifying a string of hexadecimal characters prefixed by 0x or
as part of a DUID-EN string, an even number of hexadecimal characters
must be provided in order to fully specify each byte.


allowed-ips

A comma-separated list of IP addresses that are allowed on the
interface.

An address in CIDR format with no host address specified is used to
indicate that any address on that subnet is allowed (e.g.
192.168.10.0/24 means any address in the range 192.168.10.0 -
192.168.10.255 is allowed).


autopush

Specifies the set of STREAMS modules to push on the stream associated
with a link when its DLPI device is opened. It is a space-delimited
list of modules.

The optional special character sequence [anchor] indicates that a
STREAMS anchor should be placed on the stream at the module
previously specified in the list. It is an error to specify more than
one anchor or to have an anchor first in the list.

The autopush property is preferred over the more general autopush(8)
command.


cpus

Bind the processing of packets for a given data link to a processor
or a set of processors. The value can be a comma-separated list of
one or more processor ids. If the list consists of more than one
processor, the processing will spread out to all the processors.
Connection to processor affinity and packet ordering for any
individual connection will be maintained.

The processor or set of processors are not exclusively reserved for
the link. Only the kernel threads and interrupts associated with
processing of the link are bound to the processor or the set of
processors specified. In case it is desired that processors be
dedicated to the link, psrset(8) can be used to create a processor
set and then specifying the processors from the processor set to bind
the link to.

If the link was already bound to processor or set of processors due
to a previous operation, the binding will be removed and the new set
of processors will be used instead.

The default is no CPU binding, which is to say that the processing of
packets is not bound to any specific processor or processor set.


dynamic-methods

When using IP spoofing protection (see protection), addresses can be
learned dynamically by monitoring certain network traffic, like DHCP
transactions or IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC). By
default, all learning methods are permitted, but if allowed-ips
contains any addresses, then all methods are disabled, and any
packets sent from addresses previously learned will be dropped. This
property allows selecting which ones are re-enabled, where valid
options are dhcpv4, dhcpv6, and slaac. addrconf is available as an
alias for enabling both dhcpv6 and slaac.


learn_limit

Limits the number of new or changed MAC sources to be learned over a
bridge link. When the number exceeds this value, learning on that
link is temporarily disabled. Only non-VLAN, non-VNIC type links have
this property.

The default value is 1000. Valid values are greater or equal to 0.


learn_decay

Specifies the decay rate for source changes limited by learn_limit.
This number is subtracted from the counter for a bridge link every 5
seconds. Only non-VLAN, non-VNIC type links have this property.

The default value is 200. Valid values are greater or equal to 0.


maxbw

Sets the full duplex bandwidth for the link. The bandwidth is
specified as an integer with one of the scale suffixes (K, M, or G
for Kbps, Mbps, and Gbps). If no units are specified, the input value
will be read as Mbps. The default is no bandwidth limit.


priority

Sets the relative priority for the link. The value can be given as
one of the tokens high, medium, or low. The default is high.


protection

This property enables various forms of link protections, which
prevent sending applicable traffic out of this link. Note that since
this enforcement happens late in the networking stack, some
observability tools like snoop(1M) may still see dropped outbound
packets.

This property should be set to a comma-separated list of protections
to enable on this link, where available protections are:

ip-nospoof

Prevents sending from IPv4 and IPv6 addresses that have not been
permitted over the NIC. Addresses can be learned dynamically (see
dynamic-methods) or specified explicitly (see allowed-ips).

dhcp-nospoof

Prevents sending DHCP packets whose client hardware address
(CHADDR) field differs from the link-layer address, or from using
a Client Identifier whose value cannot be confirmed to be derived
from the link-layer address. Additional Client Identifiers can be
permitted through the allowed-dhcp-cids and allow-all-dhcp-cids
link properties.

mac-nospoof

Prevents sending packets with a link-layer address that differs
from the one associated with the NIC. Additional addresses to
allow can be added using the seconday-macs property.

restricted

Prevents using a VLAN ID not associated with the NIC and sending
packets that are not IPv4, IPv6 or ARP.


stp

Enables or disables Spanning Tree Protocol on a bridge link. Setting
this value to 0 disables Spanning Tree, and puts the link into
forwarding mode with BPDU guarding enabled. This mode is appropriate
for point-to-point links connected only to end nodes. Only non-VLAN,
non-VNIC type links have this property. The default value is 1, to
enable STP.


forward

Enables or disables forwarding for a VLAN. Setting this value to 0
disables bridge forwarding for a VLAN link. Disabling bridge
forwarding removes that VLAN from the "allowed set" for the bridge.
The default value is 1, to enable bridge forwarding for configured
VLANs.


default_tag

Sets the default VLAN ID that is assumed for untagged packets sent to
and received from this link. Only non-VLAN, non-VNIC type links have
this property. Setting this value to 0 disables the bridge
forwarding of untagged packets to and from the port. The default
value is VLAN ID 1. Valid values values are from 0 to 4094.


promisc-filtered

Enables or disables the default filtering of promiscuous mode for
certain classes of links. By default, VNICs will only see unicast
traffic destined for it in promiscuous mode. Not all the unicast
traffic from the underlying device makes it to the VNIC. Disabling
this would cause a VNIC, for example, to be able to see all unicast
traffic from the device it is created over. The default value is on.


stp_priority

Sets the STP and RSTP Port Priority value, which is used to determine
the preferred root port on a bridge. Lower numerical values are
higher priority. The default value is 128. Valid values range from 0
to 255.


stp_cost

Sets the STP and RSTP cost for using the link. The default value is
auto, which sets the cost based on link speed, using 100 for 10Mbps,
19 for 100Mbps, 4 for 1Gbps, and 2 for 10Gbps. Valid values range
from 1 to 65535.


stp_edge

Enables or disables bridge edge port detection. If set to 0 (false),
the system assumes that the port is connected to other bridges even
if no bridge PDUs of any type are seen. The default value is 1, which
detects edge ports automatically.


stp_p2p

Sets bridge point-to-point operation mode. Possible values are true,
false, and auto. When set to auto, point-to-point connections are
automatically discovered. When set to true, the port mode is forced
to use point-to-point. When set to false, the port mode is forced to
use normal multipoint mode. The default value is auto.


stp_mcheck

Triggers the system to run the RSTP Force BPDU Migration Check
procedure on this link. The procedure is triggered by setting the
property value to 1. The property is automatically reset back to 0.
This value cannot be set unless the following are true:

o The link is bridged

o The bridge is protected by Spanning Tree

o The bridge force-protocol value is at least 2 (RSTP)
The default value is 0.


zone

Specifies the zone to which the link belongs. This property can be
modified only temporarily through dladm, and thus the -t option must
be specified. To modify the zone assignment such that it persists
across reboots, please use zonecfg(8). Possible values consist of any
exclusive-IP zone currently running on the system. By default, the
zone binding is as per zonecfg(8).


Wifi Link Properties


The following WiFi link properties are supported. Note that the ability
to set a given property to a given value depends on the driver and
hardware.

channel

Specifies the channel to use. This property can be modified only by
certain WiFi links when in IBSS mode. The default value and allowed
range of values varies by regulatory domain.


powermode

Specifies the power management mode of the WiFi link. Possible values
are off (disable power management), max (maximum power savings), and
fast (performance-sensitive power management). Default is off.


radio

Specifies the radio mode of the WiFi link. Possible values are on or
off. Default is on.


speed

Specifies a fixed speed for the WiFi link, in megabits per second.
The set of possible values depends on the driver and hardware (but is
shown by show-linkprop); common speeds include 1, 2, 11, and 54. By
default, there is no fixed speed.


Ethernet Link Properties


The following MII Properties, as documented in ieee802.3(7), are
supported in read-only mode:

o duplex

o state

o adv_autoneg_cap

o adv_10gfdx_cap

o adv_1000fdx_cap

o adv_1000hdx_cap

o adv_100fdx_cap

o adv_100hdx_cap

o adv_10fdx_cap

o adv_10hdx_cap


Each adv_ property (for example, adv_10fdx_cap) also has a read/write
counterpart en_ property (for example, en_10fdx_cap) controlling
parameters used at auto-negotiation. In the absence of Power Management,
the adv* speed/duplex parameters provide the values that are both
negotiated and currently effective in hardware. However, with Power
Management enabled, the speed/duplex capabilities currently exposed in
hardware might be a subset of the set of bits that were used in initial
link parameter negotiation. Thus the MII adv_* parameters are marked
read-only, with an additional set of en_* parameters for configuring
speed and duplex properties at initial negotiation.


Note that the adv_autoneg_cap does not have an en_autoneg_cap
counterpart: the adv_autoneg_cap is a 0/1 switch that turns off/on auto-
negotiation itself, and therefore cannot be impacted by Power Management.


In addition, the following Ethernet properties are reported:

speed

(read-only) The operating speed of the device, in Mbps.


mtu

The maximum client SDU (Send Data Unit) supported by the device.
Valid range is 68-65536.


flowctrl

Establishes flow-control modes that will be advertised by the device.
Valid input is one of:

no

No flow control enabled.


rx

Receive, and act upon incoming pause frames.


tx

Transmit pause frames to the peer when congestion occurs, but
ignore received pause frames.


bi

Bidirectional flow control.

Note that the actual settings for this value are constrained by the
capabilities allowed by the device and the link partner.


en_fec_cap

Sets the Forward Error Correct (FEC) code(s) to be advertised by the
device. Valid values are:

none

Allow the device not to use FEC.


auto

The device will automatically decide which FEC code to use.


rs

Allow Reed-Solomon FEC code.


base-r

Allow Base-R (also known as FireCode) code.

Valid input is either auto as a single value, or a comma separated
combination of none, rs and base-r. The default value is auto.


Note the actual FEC settings and combinations are constrained by the
capabilities allowed by the device and the link partner.


adv_fec_cap

(read only) The current negotiated Forward Error Correction code.


secondary-macs

A comma-separated list of additional MAC addresses that are allowed
on the interface.


tagmode

This link property controls the conditions in which 802.1Q VLAN tags
will be inserted in packets being transmitted on the link. Two mode
values can be assigned to this property:

normal
Insert a VLAN tag in outgoing packets under the following
conditions:

o The packet belongs to a VLAN.

o The user requested priority tagging.


vlanonly
Insert a VLAN tag only when the outgoing packet belongs
to a VLAN. If a tag is being inserted in this mode and
the user has also requested a non-zero priority, the
priority is honored and included in the VLAN tag.

The default value is vlanonly.


IP Tunnel Link Properties


The following IP tunnel link properties are supported.

hoplimit

Specifies the IPv4 TTL or IPv6 hop limit for the encapsulating outer
IP header of a tunnel link. This property exists for all tunnel
types. The default value is 64.


encaplimit

Specifies the IPv6 encapsulation limit for an IPv6 tunnel as defined
in RFC 2473. This value is the tunnel nesting limit for a given
tunneled packet. The default value is 4. A value of 0 disables the
encapsulation limit.


EXAMPLES


Example 1: Configuring an Aggregation




To configure a data-link over an aggregation of devices bge0 and bge1
with key 1, enter the following command:


# dladm create-aggr -d bge0 -d bge1 1


Example 2: Connecting to a WiFi Link




To connect to the most optimal available unsecured network on a system
with a single WiFi link (as per the prioritization rules specified for
connect-wifi), enter the following command:


# dladm connect-wifi


Example 3: Creating a WiFi Key




To interactively create the WEP key mykey, enter the following command:


# dladm create-secobj -c wep mykey


Alternatively, to non-interactively create the WEP key mykey using the
contents of a file:


# umask 077
# cat >/tmp/mykey.$$ <<EOF
12345
EOF
# dladm create-secobj -c wep -f /tmp/mykey.$$ mykey
# rm /tmp/mykey.$$


Example 4: Connecting to a Specified Encrypted WiFi Link




To use key mykey to connect to ESSID wlan on link ath0, enter the
following command:


# dladm connect-wifi -k mykey -e wlan ath0


Example 5: Changing a Link Property




To set powermode to the value fast on link pcwl0, enter the following
command:


# dladm set-linkprop -p powermode=fast pcwl0


Example 6: Connecting to a WPA-Protected WiFi Link




Create a WPA key psk and enter the following command:


# dladm create-secobj -c wpa psk


To then use key psk to connect to ESSID wlan on link ath0, enter the
following command:


# dladm connect-wifi -k psk -e wlan ath0


Example 7: Renaming a Link




To rename the bge0 link to mgmt0, enter the following command:


# dladm rename-link bge0 mgmt0


Example 8: Replacing a Network Card




Consider that the bge0 device, whose link was named mgmt0 as shown in the
previous example, needs to be replaced with a ce0 device because of a
hardware failure. The bge0 NIC is physically removed, and replaced with a
new ce0 NIC. To associate the newly added ce0 device with the mgmt0
configuration previously associated with bge0, enter the following
command:


# dladm rename-link ce0 mgmt0


Example 9: Removing a Network Card




Suppose that in the previous example, the intent is not to replace the
bge0 NIC with another NIC, but rather to remove and not replace the
hardware. In that case, the mgmt0 datalink configuration is not slated to
be associated with a different physical device as shown in the previous
example, but needs to be deleted. Enter the following command to delete
the datalink configuration associated with the mgmt0 datalink, whose
physical hardware (bge0 in this case) has been removed:


# dladm delete-phys mgmt0


Example 10: Using Parsable Output to Capture a Single Field




The following assignment saves the MTU of link net0 to a variable named
mtu.


# mtu=`dladm show-link -p -o mtu net0`


Example 11: Using Parsable Output to Iterate over Links




The following script displays the state of each link on the system.


# dladm show-link -p -o link,state | while IFS=: read link state; do
print "Link $link is in state $state"
done


Example 12: Configuring VNICs




Create two VNICs with names hello0 and test1 over a single physical link
bge0:


# dladm create-vnic -l bge0 hello0
# dladm create-vnic -l bge0 test1


Example 13: Configuring VNICs and Allocating Bandwidth and Priority




Create two VNICs with names hello0 and test1 over a single physical link
bge0 and make hello0 a high priority VNIC with a factory-assigned MAC
address with a maximum bandwidth of 50 Mbps. Make test1 a low priority
VNIC with a random MAC address and a maximum bandwidth of 100Mbps.


# dladm create-vnic -l bge0 -m factory -p maxbw=50,priority=high hello0
# dladm create-vnic -l bge0 -m random -p maxbw=100M,priority=low test1


Example 14: Configuring a VNIC with a Factory MAC Address




First, list the available factory MAC addresses and choose one of them:


# dladm show-phys -m bge0
LINK SLOT ADDRESS INUSE CLIENT
bge0 primary 0:e0:81:27:d4:47 yes bge0
bge0 1 8:0:20:fe:4e:a5 no
bge0 2 8:0:20:fe:4e:a6 no
bge0 3 8:0:20:fe:4e:a7 no


Create a VNIC named hello0 and use slot 1's address:


# dladm create-vnic -l bge0 -m factory -n 1 hello0
# dladm show-phys -m bge0
LINK SLOT ADDRESS INUSE CLIENT
bge0 primary 0:e0:81:27:d4:47 yes bge0
bge0 1 8:0:20:fe:4e:a5 yes hello0
bge0 2 8:0:20:fe:4e:a6 no
bge0 3 8:0:20:fe:4e:a7 no


Example 15: Creating a VNIC with User-Specified MAC Address, Binding it to


Set of Processors


Create a VNIC with name hello0, with a user specified MAC address, and a
processor binding 0, 1, 2, 3.


# dladm create-vnic -l bge0 -m 8:0:20:fe:4e:b8 -p cpus=0,1,2,3 hello0


Example 16: 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


Example 17: Showing Network Usage




Network usage statistics can be stored using the extended accounting
facility, acctadm(8).


# acctadm -e basic -f /var/log/net.log net
# acctadm net
Network accounting: active
Network accounting file: /var/log/net.log
Tracked Network resources: basic
Untracked Network resources: src_ip,dst_ip,src_port,dst_port,protocol,
dsfield


The saved historical data can be retrieved in summary form using the

Example 19: Creating an IPv4 Tunnel




The following sequence of commands creates and then displays a persistent
IPv4 tunnel link named mytunnel0 between 66.1.2.3 and 192.4.5.6:


# dladm create-iptun -T ipv4 -s 66.1.2.3 -d 192.4.5.6 mytunnel0
# dladm show-iptun mytunnel0
LINK TYPE FLAGS SOURCE DESTINATION
mytunnel0 ipv4 -- 66.1.2.3 192.4.5.6


A point-to-point IP interface can then be created over this tunnel link:


# ifconfig mytunnel0 plumb 10.1.0.1 10.1.0.2 up


As with any other IP interface, configuration persistence for this IP
interface is achieved by placing the desired ifconfig commands (in this
case, the command for "10.1.0.1 10.1.0.2") into /etc/hostname.mytunnel0.


Example 20: Creating a 6to4 Tunnel




The following command creates a 6to4 tunnel link. The IPv4 address of the
6to4 router is 75.10.11.12.


# dladm create-iptun -T 6to4 -s 75.10.11.12 sitetunnel0
# dladm show-iptun sitetunnel0
LINK TYPE FLAGS SOURCE DESTINATION
sitetunnel0 6to4 -- 75.10.11.12 --


The following command plumbs an IPv6 interface on this tunnel:


# ifconfig sitetunnel0 inet6 plumb up
# ifconfig sitetunnel0 inet6
sitetunnel0: flags=2200041 <UP,RUNNING,NONUD,IPv6> mtu 65515 index 3
inet tunnel src 75.10.11.12
tunnel hop limit 64
inet6 2002:4b0a:b0c::1/16


Note that the system automatically configures the IPv6 address on the
6to4 IP interface. See ifconfig(8) for a description of how IPv6
addresses are configured on 6to4 tunnel links.

NOTES


The preferred method of referring to an aggregation in the aggregation
subcommands is by its link name. Referring to an aggregation by its
integer key is supported for backward compatibility, but is not
necessary. When creating an aggregation, if a key is specified instead of
a link name, the aggregation's link name will be automatically generated
by dladm as aggrkey.
