You don't have the create a switch separately and then associate it with your NIC. You can directly create VNICs on a physical NIC, and Crossbow will then do virtual switching between the VNICs that are created on top of the same physical NIC. As an alternative to a physical NIC, you can create VNICs on top of etherstubs, which allows you to build virtual switches which are completely independent from physical hardware. For examples on how to build networks in a box I'd suggest the following blog entries: http://blogs.sun.com/sunay/entry/network_in_a_box_creating http://blogs.sun.com/droux/entry/private_virtual_networks_for_solaris We have more documentation and examples here: http://opensolaris.org/os/project/crossbow/Docs Nicolas. > > > create a zone, called router, can have vnic1, and rtls0 (internet > connection).
