Explanation/Reference:
* The netcfg command manipulates system network configuration profiles. The netcfg command can be invoked interactively, with an individual subcommand, or by specifying a command file that contains a series of subcommands.
* subcommand: netcfg commit
Commits the current profile specification to persistent storage. A configuration must be correct to be committed. Therefore, this operation automatically performs a verify operation on the profile or object as well. The commit operation is attempted automatically upon exiting the current scope by using either the end or exit subcommand.
Note:
* from the netadm list output we see the line
ncp Automatic disabled
* Oracle Solaris 11 uses profile-based network configuration, which is comprised of two network configuration modes: manual (fixed) and automatic (reactive). Depending on which network configuration mode you choose during an installation, either the DefaultFixed network configuration profile (NCP) or the Automatic NCP is activated on the system. If the DefaultFixed NCP is active, the network is manually configured by using the dladm and ipadm commands . If the Automatic NCP or a user-defined NCP that you previously created is active, the netcfg and netadm commands (formerly nwamcfg and nwamadm) are used to create and manage network configuration.
