Can any NIC be used with IP Instances? Only NICs supported by the Generic LAN Driver version 3 (GLDv3) are supported with IP Instances. The way to determine if a NIC is GLDv3, run the dladm(1m) command with the 'show-link' subcommand and look for links that are not of type 'legacy'. This is how non-GLDv3 interfaces will look. # dladm show-link eri0type: legacymtu: 1500 device: eri0 qfe0type: legacymtu: 1500 device: qfe0 qfe1type: legacymtu: 1500 device: qfe1 qfe2type: legacymtu: 1500 device: qfe2 qfe3type: legacymtu: 1500 device: qfe3 And how GLDv3 interfaces look. dladm show-link bge0type: non-vlan mtu: 1500 device: bge0 bge1type: non-vlan mtu: 1500 device: bge1 bge1001 type: vlan 1mtu: 1500 device: bge1 bge2001 type: vlan 2mtu: 1500 device: bge1 bge2type: non-vlan mtu: 1500 device: bge2 bge3type: non-vlan mtu: 1500 device: bge3 aggr1 type: non-vlan mtu: 1500 aggregation: key 1 * Which NICs are known to work with IP Instances? * afe (nv build 73) * bge * dfme (nv build 73) * e1000g * eri (nv build 73) * hme (nv build 73) * iprb (nv build 73) * ixgb * mxfe (nv build 73) * nge * nxge * qfe (nv build 73) * rge * rtls (nv build 73) * xge * ath (nv only) * Which NICs don't work with IP Instances? * ce * dnet * elx * ge * ixge * spwr However, a shim is planned as part of Nemu Unification within Project Clearview that will allow those interfaces to be used together with IP Instances.

I don't know what the Solaris 10 putback plans are for this, but one of the fine folks over there might be able to share them. bob ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [zones-discuss] IP instances
Bernd, your interface to use with IP Instances needs to be a gldv3 Interface (which isn't hme and qfe). Please check the FAQ for possible interfaces: http://opensolaris.org/os/project/crossbow/faq/#ipinst_which_nic regards Detlef Bernd Schemmer wrote, On 10/24/07 16:33: Hi, can I use IP instances with every kind of network adapter?

Fix for 6606507 and a related CR should be in NV real soon now (can't find the build number at this moment) and are slated for Solaris 10 patches.

Re: [zones-discuss] IP instances
Hi, thanks for all the answers - I should have read the FAQ before asking. Because mostly all network adapter we're using on production machines right now are qfe or ce adapters the next question is: When will a GLDv3 driver for ce or qfe (SPARC) be available? regards Bernd This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
