If you're trying to plumb a NIC with a VLAN tag in Solaris 11, its not straight forward anymore!
First, Look for the interfaces that you have.
Next plumb the interface
You should now be able to SSH to the IP (if the default gateway is set right). Run netstat -rn to see the default gateway. If it's not set - "route add default" will do the trick.
If it is the wrong port, then you can just as easily run
This will remove the new interface.

root@solaris:~# dladm show-phys

net1 Ethernet unknown 0 unknown igb1
net3 Ethernet unknown 10000 half qlge3

net0 Ethernet unknown 0 unknown igb0
net2 Ethernet unknown 10000 full qlge0
net9 Ethernet unknown 10000 half qlge1
This is a brand new install and T4 blade with the QLogic 10Gb CNA cards. I had to figure out manually which one of these were connected to what.
However, first things first. To use a Tagged VLAN for the network interface, first use dladm create-vlan to create a new network interface.
root@solaris:~# dladm create-vlan -l net2 -v 11
root@solaris:~# dladm show-link

Next plumb the interface
root@solaris:~# ifconfig net11002 plumbnetmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast + up
