At the moment, there is no support for the particular behaviour you're
after. You should be able to work around this, though, using a custom
startup script; e.g.,
https://gist.github.com/jclulow/2606370
You can write a postboot script which sets up the custom IP
configuration that you want on "ixgbe0". Note that the enumeration
order of NICs is not guaranteed, so you'll want your script to
distinguish the link you're after based on the MAC address it has.
For example:
#!/bin/bash
TARGET_MAC='0:25:90:c3:f2:d6'
if ! links=$(dladm show-phys -m -p -o link,address); then
printf 'ERROR: could not read links\n' >&2
exit 1
fi
target=
while IFS=: read link mac; do
if [[ $mac == $TARGET_MAC ]]; then
target=$link
break
fi
done <<< "$links"
if [[ -z $target ]]; then
printf 'ERROR: NIC for MAC %s not found\n' \
"$TARGET_MAC" >&2
exit 1
fi
ifconfig $target ...
Cheers.
