Two physical Ethernet ports: How to create the zone?

Question

Hi,
we have a Solaris 9 system with 2 physical Ethernet ports let's say hme0 (10.10.0.1)
and hme1 (192.168.0.1) which should be virtualized by a Solaris 9 container within our
T5220 server under Solaris 10.
The server interfaces e1000g0 and e1000g1 are configured as 192.168.0.100 respectively
10.10.0.100. Now we want to create the "solaris9" with
# zonecfg -z solaris9
zonecfg:solaris9> add net
zonecfg:solaris9:net> set address=192.168.0.1
zonecfg:solaris9:net> set physical=e1000g0
zonecfg:solaris9:net> set address=10.10.0.1
zonecfg:solaris9:net> set physical=e1000g1
zonecfg:solaris9:net> end
Is this setup for the network correct?

Hi Rainer
You are close! To add the second logical interface you add it as a separate 'net' resource. E.g.
# zonecfg -z solaris9
zonecfg:solaris9> add net
zonecfg:solaris9:net> set address=192.168.0.1
zonecfg:solaris9:net> set physical=e1000g0
zonecfg:solaris9:net> end
zonecfg:solaris9> add net
zonecfg:solaris9:net> set address=10.10.0.1
zonecfg:solaris9:net> set physical=e1000g1
zonecfg:solaris9:net> end
zonecfg:solaris9> exitHope this answers your question.
