| 9 | <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> includes a network filter driver that utilizes
|
|---|
| 10 | Oracle Solaris 11's Crossbow functionality. By default, this new
|
|---|
| 11 | driver is installed for Oracle Solaris 11 hosts that have support
|
|---|
| 12 | for it.
|

|

| 14 | <p>
|
|---|
| 15 | To force installation of the older STREAMS based network filter
|
|---|
| 16 | driver, execute as root the following command before installing
|
|---|
| 17 | the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> package:
|
|---|
| 18 | </p>
|
|---|
| 19 | <pre xml:space="preserve">$ touch /etc/vboxinst_vboxflt</pre>
|
|---|
| 20 | <p>
|
|---|
| 21 | To force installation of the Crossbow based network filter driver,
|
|---|
| 22 | execute as root the following command before installing the
|
|---|
| 23 | <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> package:
|
|---|
| 24 | </p>
|
|---|
| 25 | <pre xml:space="preserve">$ touch /etc/vboxinst_vboxbow</pre>
|
|---|
| 26 | <p>
|
|---|
| 27 | To check which driver is currently being used by <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>,
|
|---|
| 28 | execute:
|
|---|
| 29 | </p>
|
|---|
| 30 | <pre xml:space="preserve">$ modinfo | grep vbox</pre>
|
|---|
| 31 | <p>
|
|---|
| 32 | If the output contains "vboxbow", it indicates <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> is
|
|---|
| 33 | using the Crossbow network filter driver, while the name "vboxflt"
|
|---|
| 34 | indicates usage of the older STREAMS network filter.
