6.2.3.2 Exclusive-IP Containers
Because exclusive-IP Containers manage their own networking configuration,
fewer parameters are needed to configure them.

The name of the

may be different for different types of NICs.
GZ#
kstat -p 'e1000g:0:mac:*bytes'
e1000g:0:mac:obytes 2509466
e1000g:0:mac:rbytes 4702845
GZ#
kstat -p 'e1000g:0:mac:*packets'
e1000g:0:mac:opackets 13306
e1000g:0:mac:rpackets 14426
Those commands can be used for shared-IP as well as exclusive-IP Containers.
To increase the availability of Containers' network access, you can use the IP
Multipathing feature. IP Multipathing (IPMP) allows you to configure multiple
NICs into a group. IPMP detects the failure of a network cable or NIC in the
group and circumvents this failure by continuing to use the other NIC(s) for net-
work transport.
For shared-IP Containers, you manage IPMP groups from the global zone. The
Containers benefit from IPMP without even knowing it is there. Exclusive-IP
Containers with multiple NICs can maintain their own IPMP groups using the
same commands.
