To create VLAN in Solaris you have to first decide where the Physical Point of Attachment (PPA) will be. In other words you have to attach VLAN to some physical interface on the server , as of now interface types that support VLANs are:
ce
bge
xge
e1000g
After you decided on the PPA and the VLAN ID using this formula the whole name for the new VLAN interface is calculated:
VLAN int name = physical interface driver name + VLAN ID *1000 + physical device instance
In my case creating vlan 777 attached to the physical interface e1000g0 yields this:
Int name = e1000g + 777*1000 + 0 = e1000g777000
Usual plumbing and IP assigning to do:
Solaris_star# ifconfig e1000g777000 plumb
Solaris_star# ifconfig e1000g777000 inet 10.11.11.2/24
Solaris_star# ifconfig e1000g777000 up
Solaris_star# ifconfig e1000g777000 inet 10.11.11.2/24
Solaris_star# ifconfig e1000g777000 up
Verify:
Solaris_star# dladm show-link
e1000g0 type: non-vlan mtu: 1500 device: e1000g0
e1000g777000 type: vlan 777 mtu: 1500 device: e1000g0
e1000g1 type: non-vlan mtu: 1500 device: e1000g1
e1000g2 type: non-vlan mtu: 1500 device: e1000g2
e1000g777000 type: vlan 777 mtu: 1500 device: e1000g0
e1000g1 type: non-vlan mtu: 1500 device: e1000g1
e1000g2 type: non-vlan mtu: 1500 device: e1000g2
Solaris_star# ifconfig e1000g777000
e1000g777000: flags=201000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,CoS> mtu 1500 index 4

Hi!
I need configure a vlan in a sun sparcstation-10, with le interfaces and solaris8.
Is it posible?
