probably svcadm enable network/physical:default

This is something people should fix. It should always be easy to set up a static address on a unix box. It is certainly nice that the auto networking is easy but so should the I want to do it myself bit.

On a test VM I install OpenIndiana to see how to setup a static on install but it appears that with version 151a, the manual configure option is no longer listed. During install it only listed automatic or none for the network options. What is interesting is that the help for that step mentioned manual but it was not listed.

After much searching I found some commands that worked for setting a static IP.

svcadm disable network/physical:nwam
ipadm create-addr -t -T static -a local=xxx.xxx.xxx.xx/21 e1000g0/v4
route -p add default xxx.xxx.xxx.1

The only problem is that it doesn't keep connection setting upon reboot.
When I run the command "dladm show-link" or "dladm show-phys" it shows the e1000g0 status as unknown until I add the ip and the route.

What am I missing to keep the IP config retention during reboots?
