You have to use the old-school Solaris networking config rather than dladm & ipadm.

Here's an example config, for a host called "phy5". You'll need to tweak the addresses and which of the interfaces you're using.

It's slightly complicated because the 'dmz' subnet is small, so we use another overlap subnet for the test addresses.
