The ncp/ncu configuration is not limited to the physical links (or logical interfaces) that are present on the system. It's nwamd's job to ensure that there are NCUs in the active NCP for all the physical links present, but no automatic creation or destruction occurs after ifconfig or dladm operations. It's possible to create NCUs that do not correspond to physical links. > 2. for User ncp, I saw now the ncu's name have some restriction, is > the ncu's name must > end with a number? The restriction is that the ncu name must be a valid link name, e.g. e1000g0, bge0 but not bge0:1. > 3. also for User ncp, is there some restriction that user can not > create an ip ncu before the > corresponding phys ncu exist? There shouldn't be any such restriction - if there is, it's a bug I think.
