It's been a while, but as I recall slip will require that you have access to a serial device. After some conversation with a modem then its peer, it creates a new network interface and sets the ip, netmask, and maybe routes. Getting access to a serial device shouldn't be a problem, but it looks as though there are a couple areas where you will have problems. - You cannot add drivers from a non-global zone. As such, you slip_install script will not work out of the box. - Even if you make the device(s) available to the non-global zone, I don't think that slip running in a non-global zone will be able to create a new network device instance. You probably really need to install slip and configure interfaces in the global zone, then using zonecfg you can do "add net", set the device to your slip interface, and set type to exclusive. I have a feeling this is not going to work with your intended use. I think you are likely to need a different virtualization technology. If you are on x86, virtualbox may be a good choice. Note that I have never tried serial device support in virtualbox. If you have troubles presenting serial ports through virtualbox (or any other hypervisor) you may want to look at something like: http://www.digi.com/products/serialservers/etherlite.jsp If you need to do your testing on SPARC and you have the option of using LDoms (sun4v CPU's only), this type of device is likely your best bet for getting serial ports. Note that this type of device will require a device driver. Be sure one is available for your chosen OS before buying. -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ sysadmin-discuss mailing list sysadmin-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/sysadmin-discuss
