That (plus or minus some column alignment) seems fine. How will this work with the various sorts of virtual interfaces and VLANs? I assume that if someone puts a regular link into promiscuous mode, then all of the regular VNICs (including those inside a zone) are in promiscuous mode. But do VLANs appear as "in promiscuous mode" if the underlying interface is set that way? After all, listeners on the underlying interface can see the VLAN traffic. If a VNIC is in promiscuous mode, is the underlying link marked that way as well even though no clients of the underlying link are using it that way? Does putting one VNIC into promiscuous mode also put the others on that same underlying link into promiscuous mode (as one can listen to others)? Iterate the above questions for both VLANs and virtual drivers such as those used for Xen. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
