solaris11 static IP setup

[Tom Chen]

Hello,

I am using snv171. I am often confused by its NWAM: all IP ports before net0, net1....., I am wondering how do I know which one is mother board NIC which I usually set as default access port?

Also, how do I disable nwam and set NIC static IP address manually? I used to disable nwam and then set static IP manually. However,
svcadm disable svc:/network/physical:nwam
svcadm enable svc:/network/physical:default
do not work on recent version of S11 x86, though they still work on Sparc.

Any idea how to set static IP on recent S11 x86 release?

Tom
