You are supposed to fill in the value for -r option with a prefix that is allowed at your work. A mac address, which is 6 bytes long, is divided into two equal parts. First part is OUI specific (vendor specific) and 2nd part is NIC specific. So to the -r option above specify the first part. dladm create-vnic -l rge0 -m random -r 0:3:ba vnic5. Note: don't use '0:3:ba', you have to find out what is that value in your case. ~Girish PS: Note that mac-address 'collision' detection, outside the system, is not yet available. So there is a possibility that you might create VNIC with a mac address that belongs to other system in that network. Things might go wrong with such a setup.
