ipadm: cannot create interface net1: Operation failed



  • Full Error:
    ipadm: cannot create interface net1: Operation failed

    Action:

    # ipadm create-ip net1
    ipadm: cannot create interface net1: Operation failed
    

    Fix/Solution/Reason:
    Display the data links.

    # dladm show-phys
    LINK            MEDIA         STATE      SPEED  DUPLEX    DEVICE
    net0            Ethernet      up         1000   full      e1000g0
    

    There is no net1 physical interface (data link).

    If you add another network adapter to the server, then display the data links again:

    $ dladm show-phys
    LINK            MEDIA         STATE      SPEED  DUPLEX    DEVICE
    net0            Ethernet      up         1000   full      e1000g0
    net1            Ethernet      unknown    0      unknown   e1000g1
    

    Display the interfaces again.

    $ ipadm show-if
    IFNAME     CLASS    STATE    ACTIVE OVER
    lo0        loopback ok       yes    --
    net0       ip       ok       yes    --
    

    Try creating the interface again, after adding another network adapter.

    $ sudo ipadm create-ip net1
    $ sudo ipadm show-if
    IFNAME     CLASS    STATE    ACTIVE OVER
    lo0        loopback ok       yes    --
    net0       ip       ok       yes    --
    net1       ip       down     no     --
    

    You can go onto configure your interface.
