Hi Evan,

I have some responses inline for this and also some comments based on
your most previous e-mail.

First can you please confirm what release you're running?

We should have support for the Intel I354, though it will require a more
recent platform. Support wasn't added into illumos until the beginning
of this month. Next, can you also please confirm what the PCI ID of your
HP NC360T is? You should be able to get that from prtconf -d.

Yes, there's nothing wrong with that.

Every entry in the nics array causes the creation of a virtual nic in
the host. The first one for a given zone is called net0, the second
net1, etc. A vnic is created over a physical nic. The physical nic is
then programmed to receive on that mac address. If we've exceeded the
number of mac addresses that the device supports, then it is
transparently put into promiscuous mode.

I'll have to dig into how that's generated, but I see the same state on
our KVM instances.

In general, what I'd ask is that if you snoop packets in the global
zone, eg. run snoop -d e1000g0, do you see traffic coming from the
guest? Keep in mind that depending on the problems that you're seeing,
you may need to pay attention to ARP messages. What we'd like to
ascertain is are we seeing traffic go out over the wire and if so, are
we seeing responses come back to it and appear in the packet capture?

I hope this helps point you in the right direction, let me know if
there's something else I can clarify or suggest with respect to debugging.

Robert
