Add another network in Solaris 11

If it is virtual machine then you can add new network via VMware 
and Check for newly added network on server, Like I got "net1"
as shown below:
# dladm show-phys
LINK              MEDIA                STATE      SPEED  DUPLEX    DEVICE
net0              Ethernet             up         1000   full      e1000g0
net1              Ethernet             unknown    0      unknown   e1000g1
#
Now create a new interface using that and check if it is visible 
now.
# ipadm create-ip net1
# dladm show-phys
LINK              MEDIA                STATE      SPEED  DUPLEX    DEVICE
net0              Ethernet             up         1000   full      e1000g0
net1              Ethernet             up         1000   full      e1000g1
# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
net0: flags=100001000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,PHYSRUNNING> mtu 1500 index 2
        inet 198.168.1.25 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 198.168.1.255
        ether 0:56:58:c2:27:36
net1: flags=100001000842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,PHYSRUNNING> mtu 1500 index 3
        inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0
        ether 0:50:36:55:26:a3
lo0: flags=2002000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6,VIRTUAL> mtu 8252 index 1
        inet6 ::1/128
net0: flags=120002000840<RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6,PHYSRUNNING> mtu 1500 index 2
        inet6 ::/0
        ether 0:56:58:c2:27:36
net1: flags=120002000840<RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6,PHYSRUNNING> mtu 1500 index 3
        inet6 ::/0
        ether 0:50:36:55:26:a3
# ipadm show-if
IFNAME     CLASS    STATE    ACTIVE OVER
lo0        loopback ok       yes    --
net0       ip       ok       yes    --
net1       ip       down     no     --
Configure IP to the new network now.
# ipadm create-addr -T static -a local=192.168.2.151/24 net1
net1/v4

# ifconfig net1
net1: flags=100001000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,PHYSRUNNING> mtu 1500 index 3
        inet 192.168.2.151 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255
        ether 0:50:36:55:26:a3
Add a gateway to the above network.
# route -p add -net 192.168.2.151/24 -gateway 192.168.2.1

# netstat -nr

Routing Table: IPv4
  Destination           Gateway           Flags  Ref     Use     Interface
-------------------- -------------------- ----- ----- ---------- ---------
default              198.168.1.1            UG        5      75260
198.168.1.0          198.168.1.25           U         6        275 net0

127.0.0.1            127.0.0.1            UH        2       1670   lo0

Routing Table: IPv6
  Destination/Mask            Gateway                   Flags Ref   Use    If
--------------------------- --------------------------- ----- --- ------- -----
::1                         ::1                         UH      2       4 lo0
Now try to ping to the new network. It will work if there is any 
firewall need to be allowed you can check with Network Team.
