DESCRIPTION
The nictagadm tool allows you to add, update, delete and display infor‐
mation about SmartOS nic tags. Both standard nic tags and local-only
etherstubs can be managed.
Nic tags are used in SmartOS to refer to a physical nic without needing
its underlying MAC address or interface name. Both vmadm(1m) and the
SmartOS config file use them as identifiers.
For nodes with /usbkey present, nictagadm will update /usbkey/config as
appropriate, and attempt to mount the original USB key and update its
copy as well. This allows the nic tags to persist across reboots.
For nodes without /usbkey present, nic tags will not persist across
reboots unless the nic tag parameters are passed in as boot parameters
at the next reboot.
