Solaris 11 manual network configuration

Switch from fully automatic network configuration profile to manual

# netadm enable -p ncp DefaultFixed

Create IP address for interface

# ipadm create-ip net0
# ipadm create-addr -T static -a 192.168.0.4/24 net0/v4static

Set persistent default route

# route -p add default 192.168.0.1

/etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf are now automatically generated for backwards compatibility by the respective services, svc:/network/dns/client and svc:/system/name-service/switch. Any manual edits to these files will be lost. To change the configuration, the service properties must be modified.
