Something like this should do the trick: host# zonecfg -z my-zone zonecfg:my-zone> remove net physical=e1000g0 zonecfg:my-zone> add net zonecfg:my-zone:net> set address=192.168.0.99/24 zonecfg:my-zone:net> set physical=e1000g0 zonecfg:my-zone:net> end zonecfg:my-zone> commit zonecfg:my-zone> exit host#
