This section describes the virtual Ethernet adapters attached to the virtual machine.  The following list describes the available options:

  • interface – Attach virtual Ethernet interface to host attached adapter.
  • mac – Specify virtual Ethernet adapter MAC address.

It is possible to configure between 1 and 4 virtual Ethernet adapters.  When specifying each of the adapters, the x in the section name should be replaced with a letter between a and d.  The configuration snippet below demonstrates the configuration of two virtual Ethernet adapters.

Example Ethernet Adapter Configuration

[ewa0]
interface = intbr0

[ewb0]
interface = intbr1
mac = 08-00-2b-aa-bb-cc

interface 

Attach virtual Ethernet interface to host attached adapter.

Syntax

interface = host-device

Description

The interface option is used to attach the virtual Ethernet adapter to a physical host adapter.

mac 

Specify virtual Ethernet adapter MAC address.

Syntax

mac = aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff

Description

This optional parameter can be used to force the physical address of the network adapter to a certain address.  This can be particularly relevant in the case where a software product may be licensed against the network adapter of a native SPARC system.
