You don't need to do svcadm enable above, the bridge:pmi_if service is enabled by the create-bridge command. > # dladm show-bridge > BRIDGE PROTECT ADDRESS PRIORITY DESROOT > pmi_if stp 32768/0:25:90:2:9b:6e 32768 32768/0:25:90:2:9b:6e > # dladm show-bridge -l pmi_if > LINK STATE UPTIME DESROOT > igb0 discarding 0 32768/0:25:90:2:9b:6e > igb1 disabled 0 0/0:0:0:0:0:0 > > And now I'm not sure what to do. I want to assign an ipaddr to the pmi_if0 > interface. pm_if0 is the bridge observability device (you can run snoop/wireshark to view bridged traffic) and you cannot plumb IP over it. Instead you can plumb IP over the bridged interfaces. In your example above once bridged you can still plumb IP on the bridged interfaces (igb0, igb1).
