Solaris 11 coming with new feature and enhancement, one of it is NWAM (Network automagic) with NWAM you can create and save the network profile. In this post, I’ll blogging about how to configure your Solaris 11 Systems to used static IP Address.

Ok let’s start :
1. Switch From Automatic Network Configuration Mode to Manual Network Configuration Mode

# netadm enable -p ncp DefaultFixed

2. Verify that DefaultFixed profile is applied

# netadm list
netadm: DefaultFixed NCP is enabled;
automatic network management is not available.
'netadm list' is only supported when automatic network management is active.

3. Determine the interface that you want to configure

# dladm show-phys

4. I’ll configure the net0 interface

# ipadm create-ip net0
# ipadm create-addr -T static -a 192.168.56.200/24 net0/v4

5. Verify

# ipadm show-addr
ADDROBJ           TYPE     STATE        ADDR
lo0/v4            static   ok           127.0.0.1/8
net0/v4           static   ok           192.168.56.200/24
lo0/v6            static   ok           ::1/128

root@solaris:~# dladm show-link
LINK                CLASS     MTU    STATE    OVER
net0                phys      1500   up       --
net1                phys      1500   unknown  --

6. Add default route

# route -p add default 12.34.56.1

7. Add DNS Name Server

root@solaris:~# svccfg -s dns/client
svc:/network/dns/client> setprop config/nameserver = (8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4)
svc:/network/dns/client> listprop config
config                      application
config/value_authorization astring     solaris.smf.value.name-service.dns.client
config/nameserver          net_address 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
svc:/network/dns/client> exit
root@solaris:~#
root@solaris:~# svcadm refresh dns/client
root@solaris:~# svcadm restart dns/client

8. Set name service switch

root@solaris:~# svccfg -s name-service/switch
svc:/system/name-service/switch> setprop config/host = "files dns"
svc:/system/name-service/switch> listprop config
config                      application
config/default             astring     files
config/value_authorization astring     solaris.smf.value.name-service.switch
config/printer             astring     "user files"
config/host                astring     "files dns"
svc:/system/name-service/switch> exit

9. Testing

root@solaris:~# ping google.com
google.com is alive

That’s it..
