General OmniOS networking commands taken from the OmniOS site.
Setting up dynamic (DHCP) networking #
First identify the physical interface on which you would like networking:
# dladm show-phys
LINK MEDIA STATE SPEED DUPLEX DEVICE
e1000g0 Ethernet unknown 0 half e1000g0
e1000g1 Ethernet ? 1000 full e1000g1
Physical interfaces that don’t have a corresponding IP interface might not show their state correctly (in this case e1000g0).
To create an IP interface, then create an address and set it to DHCP:
# ipadm create-if e1000g0
# ipadm create-addr -T dhcp e1000g0/v4
# ipadm show-addr
ADDROBJ TYPE STATE ADDR
lo0/v4 static ok 127.0.0.1/8
e1000g0/v4 dhcp ok 10.0.2.15/24
lo0/v6 static ok ::1/128
Setting up static networking #
Just as above, we need to create an interface (if it hasn’t been created already)
# ipadm create-if e1000g0
# ipadm create-addr -T static -a 192.168.1.10/24 e1000g0/v4static
# ipadm show-addr
ADDROBJ TYPE STATE ADDR
lo0/v4 static ok 127.0.0.1/8
e1000g0/v4static static ok 192.168.1.10/24
lo0/v6 static ok ::1/128
Now to setup a default route of 192.168.1.1:
# route -p add default 192.168.1.1
# netstat -rn -finet
Routing Table: IPv4
Destination Gateway Flags Ref Use Interface
——————– ——————– —– —– ———- ———
default 192.168.1.1 UG 1 0 e1000g0
192.168.1.0 192.168.1.10 U 3 349 e1000g0
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 2 164 lo0
Finally, set up DNS resolution. Put your nameserver into /etc/resolv.conf and configure NSS to read DNS from that file.
# echo ‘nameserver 192.168.1.1’ >> /etc/resolv.conf
# cp /etc/nsswitch.conf{,.bak}
# cp /etc/nsswitch.{dns,conf}
Creating Additional Addresses #
There’s nothing special about the “v4” or “v4static” address names; it’s just a convention. You can create additional interfaces with whatever names you want.
# ipadm create-addr -T static -a 192.168.1.11/24 e1000g0/myfancyaddr
If you want to set up a temporary IP address (that won’t be restored after boot), use -t instead of -T:
# ipadm create-addr -t static -a 192.168.1.11/24 e1000g0/myfancyonetimeaddr
