command is used to administer data-links. A data-link is represented in the system as a  
. Each data-link relies on either a single network device or an aggregation of devices to send packets to or receive packets from a network.
A network device, identified by concatenation of a driver name and an instance number.
An Ethernet stub can be used instead of a physical NIC to create VNICs. VNICs created on an  etherstub will appear to be connected through a virtual switch, allowing complete virtual networks to be built without physical hardware.
A secure object, identified by an administratively-chosen name. The name can use any alphanumeric characters, as well as underscore ( _), period ( .), and hyphen (-). A secure object name can be at most 32 characters.
SUBCOMMANDS
 The following subcommands are supported:
 
dladm show-link [
-P] [
-s [
-i interval]] [[ 
-p] 
-o field[,...]][
link]
 
Show link configuration information (the default) or statistics, either for all datalinks or for the specified link  
link. By default, the system is configured with one datalink for each known network device.
 
-o field[,...], 
--output=
field[,...]
 
A case-insensitive, comma-separated list of output fields to display. When not modified by the  
-s option (described below), the field name must be one of the fields listed below, or the special value  
all to display all fields. By default (without  
-o), 
show-link displays all fields.
 
LINK
 
The name of the datalink.
 
 
CLASS
 
The class of the datalink. 
dladm distinguishes between the following classes:
 
phys
 
A physical datalink. The show-phys subcommand displays more detail for this class of datalink.
 
 
aggr
 
An IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation. The show-aggr subcommand displays more detail for this class of datalink.
 
 
vlan
 
A VLAN datalink. The show-vlan subcommand displays more detail for this class of datalink.

-P, 
--persistent
 
This option displays persistent configuration for all links, including those that have been removed from the system. The output provides a  FLAGS column in which the  r flag indicates that the physical device associated with a physical link has been removed. For such links,  delete-phys can be used to purge the link's configuration from the system.
 
 
 
 
dladm create-aggr [
-t] [
-R root-dir] [
-P  policy] [
-L mode] [
-T time] [
-u  address] 
-l ether-link1 [
-l ether-link2...]  
aggr-link
 
Combine a set of links into a single IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation named  
aggr-link. The use of an integer 
key to generate a link name for the aggregation is also supported for backward compatibility. Many of the  
*-aggr subcommands below also support the use of a 
key to refer to a given aggregation, but use of the aggregation link name is preferred. See the  
NOTES section for more information on keys.
 
dladm supports a number of port selection policies for an aggregation of ports. (See the description of the  
-P option, below.) If you do not specify a policy,  
create-aggr uses the default, the L4 policy, described under the  
-P option.
 
-l ether-link, 
--link=
ether-link
 
Each Ethernet link (or port) in the aggregation is specified using an -l option followed by the name of the link to be included in the aggregation. Multiple links are included in the aggregation by specifying multiple  -l options. For backward compatibility with previous versions of Solaris, the  dladm command also supports the using the -d option (or  --dev) with a device name to specify links by their underlying device name. The other  *-aggr subcommands that take -loptions also accept  -d.
 
 
-t, 
--temporary
 
Specifies that the aggregation is temporary. Temporary aggregations last until the next reboot.
 
 
-R root-dir, 
--root-dir=
root-dir
 
See "Options," above.
 
 
-P policy, 
--policy=
policy
 
 
Specifies the port selection policy to use for load spreading of outbound traffic. The policy specifies which  
dev object is used to send packets. A policy is a list of one or more layers specifiers separated by commas. A layer specifier is one of the following:
 
L2
 
Select outbound device according to source and destination MAC addresses of the packet.
 
 
L3
 
Select outbound device according to source and destination IP addresses of the packet.
 
 
L4
 
Select outbound device according to the upper layer protocol information contained in the packet. For  TCP and UDP, this includes source and destination ports. For IPsec, this includes the  SPI (Security Parameters Index).
 
For example, to use upper layer protocol information, the following policy can be used:
 
-P L4
 
 
Note that policy L4 is the default.
 
To use the source and destination 
MAC addresses as well as the source and destination  
IP addresses, the following policy can be used:
 
-P L2,L3
 
 
 
 
 
-L mode, 
--lacp-mode=
mode
 
Specifies whether LACP should be used and, if used, the mode in which it should operate. Supported values are  off, active or passive.
 
 
-T time, 
--lacp-timer=
time
 
 
Specifies the LACP timer value. The supported values are short or  longjjj.
 
 
-u address,

ADDRESS
 
The MAC address of the link or port.
 
 
PORTSTATE
 
This indicates whether the individual aggregation port is in the standby or  attached state.
 
 
 
 
-o field[,...], 
--output=
field[,...]
 
A case-insensitive, comma-separated list of output fields to display. The field name must be one of the fields listed above, or the special value  all, to display all fields. The fields applicable to the  -o option are limited to those listed under each output mode. For example, if using  -L, only the fields listed under  -L, above, can be used with -o.
 
 
-p, 
--parseable
 
Display using a stable machine-parseable format. The -o option is required with  -p. See "Parseable Output Format", below.
 
 
-P,

dladm create-bridge [ 
-P protect] [
-R  root-dir] [ 
-p priority] [ 
-m max-age] [ 
-h  hello-time] [ 
-d forward-delay] [ 
-f  force-protocol] [
-l link...] 
bridge-name
 
Create an 802.1D bridge instance and optionally assign one or more network links to the new bridge. By default, no bridge instances are present on the system.
 
In order to bridge between links, you must create at least one bridge instance. Each bridge instance is separate, and there is no forwarding connection between bridges.
 
-P protect, 
--protect=
protect
 
Specifies a protection method. The defined protection methods are stp for the Spanning Tree Protocol and trill for  TRILL, which is used on RBridges. The default value is  stp.
 
 
-R root-dir, 
--root-dir=
root-dir
 
See "Options," above.
 
 
-p priority, 
--priority=
priority
 
Specifies the Bridge Priority. This sets the IEEE STP priority value for determining the root bridge node in the network. The default value is  
32768. Valid values are 
0 (highest priority) to 
61440 (lowest priority), in increments of 4096.
 
If a value not evenly divisible by 4096 is used, the system silently rounds downward to the next lower value that is divisible by 4096.
 
 
 
-m max-age, 
--max-age=
max-age
 
Specifies the maximum age for configuration information in seconds. This sets the STP Bridge Max Age parameter. This value is used for all nodes in the network if this node is the root bridge. Bridge link information older than this time is discarded. It defaults to 20 seconds. Valid values are from 6 to 40 seconds. See the  -d forward-delay parameter for additional constraints.
 
 
-h hello-time, 
--hello-time=
hello-time
 
Specifies the STP Bridge Hello Time parameter. When this node is the root node, it sends Configuration BPDUs at this interval throughout the network. The default value is 2 seconds. Valid values are from 1 to 10 seconds. See the  -d forward-delay parameter for additional constraints.
 
 
-d forward-delay, 
--forward-delay=
forward-delay
 
Specifies the STP Bridge Forward Delay parameter. When this node is the root node, then all bridges in the network use this timer to sequence the link states when a port is enabled. The default value is 15 seconds. Valid values are from 4 to 30 seconds.
 
Bridges must obey the following two constraints:
 
2 * (
forward-delay - 1.0) >= 
max-age
max-age >= 2 * (hello-time + 1.0)
 
 
Any parameter setting that would violate those constraints is treated as an error and causes the command to fail with a diagnostic message. The message provides valid alternatives to the supplied values.
 
 
 
-f force-protocol,  
--force-protocol=
force-protocol
 
Specifies the MSTP forced maximum supported protocol. The default value is 3. Valid values are non-negative integers. The current implementation does not support RSTP or MSTP, so this currently has no effect. However, to prevent MSTP from being used in the future, the parameter may be set to  0 for STP only or  2 for STP and RSTP.
 
 
-l link, 
--link=
link
 
Specifies one or more links to add to the newly-created bridge. This is similar to creating the bridge and then adding one or more links, as with the  add-bridge subcommand. However, if any of the links cannot be added, the entire command fails, and the new bridge itself is not created. To add multiple links on the same command line, repeat this option for each link. You are permitted to create bridges without links. For more information about link assignments, see the  add-bridge subcommand.
 
Bridge creation and link assignment require the 
PRIV_SYS_DL_CONFIG privilege. Bridge creation might fail if the optional bridging feature is not installed on the system.
 
 
 
dladm modify-bridge [ 
-P protect] [
-R  root-dir] [ 
-p priority] [ 
-m max-age] [ 
-h  hello-time] [ 
-d forward-delay] [ 
-f  force-protocol] [
-l link...] 
bridge-name
 
Modify the operational parameters of an existing bridge. The options are the same as for the  
create-bridge subcommand, except that the 
-l option is not permitted. To add links to an existing bridge, use the  
add-bridge subcommand.
 
Bridge parameter modification requires the 
PRIV_SYS_DL_CONFIG privilege.
 
 
 
dladm delete-bridge [
-R root-dir] 
bridge-name
 
Delete a bridge instance. The bridge being deleted must not have any attached links. Use the  
remove-bridge subcommand to deactivate links before deleting a bridge.
 
Bridge deletion requires the 
PRIV_SYS_DL_CONFIG privilege.
 
The 
-R (
--root-dir) option is the same as for the  
create-bridge subcommand.
 
 
 
dladm add-bridge [
-R root-dir] 
-l link [ 
-l link...] 
bridge-name
 
Add one or more links to an existing bridge. If multiple links are specified, and adding any one of them results in an error, the command fails and no changes are made to the system.
 
Link addition to a bridge requires the 
PRIV_SYS_DL_CONFIG privilege.
 
A link may be a member of at most one bridge. An error occurs when you attempt to add a link that already belongs to another bridge. To move a link from one bridge instance to another, remove it from the current bridge before adding it to a new one.
 
The links assigned to a bridge must not also be VLANs, VNICs, or tunnels. Only physical Ethernet datalinks, aggregation datalinks, wireless links, and Ethernet stubs are permitted to be assigned to a bridge.
 
Links assigned to a bridge must all have the same MTU. This is checked when the link is assigned. The link is added to the bridge in a deactivated form if it is not the first link on the bridge and it has a differing MTU.
 
Note that systems using bridging should not set the 
eeprom(1M)  
local-mac-address? variable to false.
 
The options are the same as for the 
create-bridge subcommand.
 
 
 
dladm remove-bridge [
-R root-dir] 
-l link [ 
-l link...] 
bridge-name
 
Remove one or more links from a bridge instance. If multiple links are specified, and removing any one of them would result in an error, the command fails and none are removed.
 
Link removal from a bridge requires the 
PRIV_SYS_DL_CONFIG privilege.
 
The options are the same as for the 
create-bridge subcommand.
 
 
 
dladm show-bridge [
-flt] [
-s [
-i interval]] [[ 
-p] 
-o field,...] [
bridge-name]
 
Show the running status and configuration of bridges, their attached links, learned forwarding entries, and  
TRILL nickname databases. When showing overall bridge status and configuration, the bridge name can be omitted to show all bridges. The other forms require a specified bridge.
 
The show-bridge subcommand accepts the following options:
 
-i interval, 
--interval=
interval
 
Used with the -s option to specify an interval, in seconds, at which statistics should be displayed. If this option is not specified, statistics will be displayed only once.
 
 
-s, 
--statistics
 
Display statistics for the specified bridges or for a given bridge's attached links. This option cannot be used with the  -f and -t options.
 
 
-p, 
--parseable
 
Display using a stable machine-parsable format. See "Parsable Output Format," below.
 
 
-o field[,...], 
--output=
field[,...]
 
A case-insensitive, comma-separated list of output fields to display. The field names are described below. The special value all displays all fields. Each set of fields has its own default set to display when  -o is not specified.

wifi-link]
 
Connects to a 
WiFi network. This consists of four steps: 
discovery,  
filtration, 
prioritization, and 
association. However, to enable connections to non-broadcast  
WiFi networks and to improve performance, if a  
BSSID or 
ESSID is specified using the 
-e or  
-i options, then the first three steps are skipped and 
connect-wifi immediately attempts to associate with a  
BSSID or 
ESSID that matches the rest of the provided parameters. If this association fails, but there is a possibility that other networks matching the specified criteria exist, then the traditional discovery process begins as specified below.
 
The discovery step finds all available 
WiFi networks on the specified WiFi link, which must not yet be connected. For administrative convenience, if there is only one  
WiFi link on the system, 
wifi-link can be omitted.
 
Once discovery is complete, the list of networks is filtered according to the value of the following options:
 
-e essid, --essid=
essid
 
Networks that do not have the same essid are filtered out.
 
 
-b bss|
ibss, 
--bsstype=
bss|
ibss
 
Networks that do not have the same bsstype are filtered out.
 
 
-m a|
b|
g, 
--mode=
a|
b|
g
 
Networks not appropriate for the specified 802.11 mode are filtered out.
 
 
-k key,..., 
--key=
key, ...
 
Use the specified secobj named by the key to connect to the network. Networks not appropriate for the specified keys are filtered out.
 
 
-s none|
wep|
wpa,  
--sec=
none|
wep|
wpa
 
Networks not appropriate for the specified security mode are filtered out.
 
Next, the remaining networks are prioritized, first by signal strength, and then by maximum speed. Finally, an attempt is made to associate with each network in the list, in order, until one succeeds or no networks remain.
 
In addition to the options described above, the following options also control the behavior of  
connect-wifi:
 
-a open|
shared, 
--auth=
open|
shared
 
Connect using the specified authentication mode. By default, open and  shared are tried in order.
 
 
-c, 
--create-ibss
 
Used with -b ibss to create a new ad-hoc network if one matching the specified  ESSID cannot be found. If no ESSID is specified, then  -c -b ibss always triggers the creation of a new ad-hoc network.
 
 
-T time, 
--timeout=
time
 
Specifies the number of seconds to wait for association to succeed. If  time is forever, then the associate will wait indefinitely. The current default is ten seconds, but this might change in the future. Timeouts shorter than the default might not succeed reliably.
 
 
-k key,..., 
--key=
key,...
 
In addition to the filtering previously described, the specified keys will be used to secure the association. The security mode to use will be based on the key class; if a security mode was explicitly specified, it must be compatible with the key class. All keys must be of the same class.
 
For security modes that support multiple key slots, the slot to place the key will be specified by a colon followed by an index. Therefore,  
-k mykey:3 places  
mykey in slot 3. By default, slot 1 is assumed. For security modes that support multiple keys, a comma-separated list can be specified, with the first key being the active key.
 
 
 
 
 
dladm disconnect-wifi [
-a] [
wifi-link]

Operate on a link that has been delegated to the specified zone.
 
 
 
 
 
dladm create-etherstub [
-t] [
-R root-dir]  
etherstub
 
Create an etherstub with the specified name.
 
-t, 
--temporary
 
Specifies that the etherstub is temporary. Temporary etherstubs do not persist across reboots.
 
 
-R root-dir, 
--root-dir=
root-dir
 
See "Options," above.
 
VNICs can be created on top of etherstubs instead of physical NICs. As with physical NICs, such a creation causes the stack to implicitly create a virtual switch between the VNICs created on top of the same etherstub.
 
 
 
 
dladm delete-etherstub [
-t] [
-R root-dir]  
etherstub
 
Delete the specified etherstub.
 
-t, 
--temporary
 
Specifies that the deletion is temporary. Temporary deletions last until the next reboot.
 
 
-R root-dir, 
--root-dir=
root-dir
 
See "Options," above.
 
 
 
 
dladm show-etherstub [
etherstub]
 
Show all configured etherstubs by default, or the specified etherstub if  etherstub is specified.
 
 
dladm create-iptun [
-t] [
-R root-dir] 
-T  type [
-s tsrc] [
-d tdst] 
iptun-link
 
Create an IP tunnel link named 
iptun-link. Such links can additionally be protected with IPsec using  
ipsecconf(1M).
 
An IP tunnel is conceptually comprised of two parts: a virtual link between two or more IP nodes, and an IP interface above this link that allows the system to transmit and receive IP packets encapsulated by the underlying link. This subcommand creates a virtual link. The  
ifconfig(1M) command is used to configure IP interfaces above the link.
 
-t, 
--temporary
 
Specifies that the IP tunnel link is temporary. Temporary tunnels last until the next reboot.
 
 
-R root-dir, 
--root-dir=
root-dir
 
See "Options," above.
 
 
-T type, 
--tunnel-type=
type
 
Specifies the type of tunnel to be created. The type must be one of the following:
 
ipv4
 
A point-to-point, IP-over-IP tunnel between two IPv4 nodes. This type of tunnel requires IPv4 source and destination addresses to function. IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces can be plumbed above such a tunnel to create IPv4-over-IPv4 and IPv6-over-IPv4 tunneling configurations.
 
 
ipv6
 
A point-to-point, IP-over-IP tunnel between two IPv6 nodes as defined in IETF RFC 2473. This type of tunnel requires IPv6 source and destination addresses to function. IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces can be plumbed above such a tunnel to create IPv4-over-IPv6 and IPv6-over-IPv6 tunneling configurations.
 
 
6to4
 
A 6to4, point-to-multipoint tunnel as defined in IETF RFC 3056. This type of tunnel requires an IPv4 source address to function. An IPv6 interface is plumbed on such a tunnel link to configure a 6to4 router.
 
 
 
 
-s tsrc, 
--tunnel-src=
tsrc
 
Literal IP address or hostname corresponding to the tunnel source. If a hostname is specified, it will be resolved to IP addresses, and one of those IP addresses will be used as the tunnel source. Because IP tunnels are created before naming services have been brought online during the boot process, it is important that any hostname used be included in  /etc/hosts.
 
 
-d tdst, 
--tunnel-dst=
tdst
 
Literal IP address or hostname corresponding to the tunnel destination.
 
 
 
 
dladm modify-iptun [
-t] [
-R root-dir] [
-s  tsrc] [
-d tdst] 
iptun-link
 
Modify the parameters of the specified IP tunnel.
 
-t, 
--temporary
 
Specifies that the modification is temporary. Temporary modifications last until the next reboot.
 
 
-R root-dir, 
--root-dir=
root-dir
 
See "Options," above.
 
 
-s tsrc, 
--tunnel-src=
tsrc
 
Specifies a new tunnel source address. See create-iptun for a description.
 
 
-d tdst, 
--tunnel-dst=
tdst
 
Specifies a new tunnel destination address. See create-iptun for a description.
 
 
 
 
dladm delete-iptun [
-t] [
-R root-dir]  
iptun-link
 
Delete the specified IP tunnel link.
 
-t, 
--temporary
 
Specifies that the deletion is temporary. Temporary deletions last until the next reboot.
 
 
-R root-dir, 
--root-dir=
root-dir
 
See "Options," above.
 
 
 
 
dladm show-iptun [
-P] [[
-p] 
-o field[,...]] [ 
iptun-link]
 
Show IP tunnel link configuration for a single IP tunnel or all IP tunnels.
 
-P, 
--persistent
 
Display the persistent IP tunnel configuration.
 
 
-p, 
--parseable
 
Display using a stable machine-parseable format. The -o option is required with -p. See "Parseable Output Format", below.
 
 
-o field[,...], 
--output=
field[,...]
 
A case-insensitive, comma-separated list of output fields to display. The field name must be one of the fields listed below, or the special value  
all, to display all fields. By default (without  
-o), 
show-iptun displays all fields.
 
LINK
 
The name of the IP tunnel link.
 
 
TYPE
 
Type of tunnel as specified by the -T option of create-iptun.
 
 
FLAGS
 
A set of flags associated with the IP tunnel link. Possible flags are:
 
s
 
The IP tunnel link is protected by IPsec policy. To display the IPsec policy associated with the tunnel link, enter:
 
# 
ipsecconf -ln -i tunnel-link
 
 
See 
ipsecconf(1M) for more details on how to configure IPsec policy.
 
 
 
i
 
The IP tunnel link was implicitly created with ifconfig(1M), and will be automatically deleted when it is no longer referenced (that is, when the last IP interface over the tunnel is unplumbed). See  ifconfig(1M) for details on implicit tunnel creation.
 
 
 
 
SOURCE
 
The tunnel source address.
 
 
DESTINATION
 
The tunnel destination address.
 
 
 
 
 
 
dladm show-usage [
-a] 
-f filename [
-p  plotfile -F format] [
-s time] [
-e  time] [
link]
 
Show the historical network usage from a stored extended accounting file. Configuration and enabling of network accounting through  
acctadm(1M) is required. The default output will be the summary of network usage for the entire period of time in which extended accounting was enabled.
 
-a
 
Display all historical network usage for the specified period of time during which extended accounting is enabled. This includes the usage information for the links that have already been deleted.
 
 
-f filename, 
--file=
filename
 
Read extended accounting records of network usage from filename.
 
 
-F format, 
--format=
format
 
Specifies the format of plotfile that is specified by the -p option. As of this release,  gnuplot is the only supported format.
 
 
-p plotfile, 
--plot=
plotfile
 
Write network usage data to a file of the format specified by the -F option, which is required.
 
 
-s time, 
--start=
time
 
-e time, 
--stop=
time
 
Start and stop times for data display. Time is in the format  MM/DD/YYYY,hh:mm:ss.
 
 
link
 
If specified, display the network usage only for the named link. Otherwise, display network usage for all links.
 
 
 
 
General Link Properties
 The following general link properties are supported:
 
allowed-ips
 
A comma-seperated list of IP addresses that are allowed on the interface.
 
An address in CIDR format with no host address specified is used to indicate that any address on that subnet is allowed (e.g. 192.168.10.0/24 means any address in the range 192.168.10.0 - 192.168.10.255 is allowed).
 
 
 
autopush
 
Specifies the set of STREAMS modules to push on the stream associated with a link when its DLPI device is opened. It is a space-delimited list of modules.
 
The optional special character sequence 
[anchor] indicates that a STREAMS anchor should be placed on the stream at the module previously specified in the list. It is an error to specify more than one anchor or to have an anchor first in the list.
 
The 
autopush property is preferred over the more general  
autopush(1M) command.
 
 
 
cpus
 
Bind the processing of packets for a given data link to a processor or a set of processors. The value can be a comma-separated list of one or more processor ids. If the list consists of more than one processor, the processing will spread out to all the processors. Connection to processor affinity and packet ordering for any individual connection will be maintained.
 
The processor or set of processors are not exclusively reserved for the link. Only the kernel threads and interrupts associated with processing of the link are bound to the processor or the set of processors specified. In case it is desired that processors be dedicated to the link,  
psrset(1M) can be used to create a processor set and then specifying the processors from the processor set to bind the link to.
 
If the link was already bound to processor or set of processors due to a previous operation, the binding will be removed and the new set of processors will be used instead.
 
The default is no CPU binding, which is to say that the processing of packets is not bound to any specific processor or processor set.
 
 
 
learn_limit
 
Limits the number of new or changed MAC sources to be learned over a bridge link. When the number exceeds this value, learning on that link is temporarily disabled. Only non-VLAN, non-VNIC type links have this property.
 
The default value is 
1000. Valid values are greater or equal to 0.
 
 
 
learn_decay
 
Specifies the decay rate for source changes limited by 
learn_limit. This number is subtracted from the counter for a bridge link every 5 seconds. Only non-VLAN, non-VNIC type links have this property.
 
The default value is 
200. Valid values are greater or equal to 0.
 
 
 
maxbw
 
Sets the full duplex bandwidth for the link. The bandwidth is specified as an integer with one of the scale suffixes ( K, M, or G for Kbps, Mbps, and Gbps). If no units are specified, the input value will be read as Mbps. The default is no bandwidth limit.
 
 
priority
 
Sets the relative priority for the link. The value can be given as one of the tokens  high, medium, or low. The default is high.
 
 
stp
 
Enables or disables Spanning Tree Protocol on a bridge link. Setting this value to  0 disables Spanning Tree, and puts the link into forwarding mode with BPDU guarding enabled. This mode is appropriate for point-to-point links connected only to end nodes. Only non-VLAN, non-VNIC type links have this property. The default value is  1, to enable STP.
 
 
forward
 
Enables or disables forwarding for a VLAN. Setting this value to 0 disables bridge forwarding for a VLAN link. Disabling bridge forwarding removes that VLAN from the "allowed set" for the bridge. The default value is  1, to enable bridge forwarding for configured VLANs.
 
 
default_tag
 
Sets the default VLAN ID that is assumed for untagged packets sent to and received from this link. Only non-VLAN, non-VNIC type links have this property. Setting this value to  0 disables the bridge forwarding of untagged packets to and from the port. The default value is  VLAN ID 1. Valid values values are from 0 to 4094.
 
 
stp_priority
 
Sets the STP and RSTP Port Priority value, which is used to determine the preferred root port on a bridge. Lower numerical values are higher priority. The default value is  128. Valid values range from 0 to 255.
 
 
stp_cost
 
Sets the STP and RSTP cost for using the link. The default value is auto, which sets the cost based on link speed, using  100 for 10Mbps, 19 for 100Mbps,  4 for 1Gbps, and 2 for 10Gbps. Valid values range from 1 to 65535.
 
 
stp_edge
 
Enables or disables bridge edge port detection. If set to 0 (false), the system assumes that the port is connected to other bridges even if no bridge PDUs of any type are seen. The default value is  1, which detects edge ports automatically.
 
 
stp_p2p
 
Sets bridge point-to-point operation mode. Possible values are true,  false, and auto. When set to auto, point-to-point connections are automatically discovered. When set to  true, the port mode is forced to use point-to-point. When set to  false, the port mode is forced to use normal multipoint mode. The default value is  auto.
 
 
stp_mcheck
 
Triggers the system to run the RSTP 
Force BPDU Migration Check procedure on this link. The procedure is triggered by setting the property value to  
1. The property is automatically reset back to 
0. This value cannot be set unless the following are true:
- 
o
 
- 
The bridge is protected by Spanning Tree
 
 
- 
o
 
- 
The bridge force-protocol value is at least 2 (RSTP)
 
 
The default value is 0.
 
 
 
zone
 
Specifies the zone to which the link belongs. This property can be modified only temporarily through  dladm, and thus the -t option must be specified. To modify the zone assignment such that it persists across reboots, please use  zonecfg(1M). Possible values consist of any exclusive-IP zone currently running on the system. By default, the zone binding is as per  zonecfg(1M).
