Unable to use Crossbow commands ,completely?

Hi all,

I have begun working on a project that involves "Crossbow" technology.
But almost immediately i have run into problems!
My version of Solaris doesnt seem to have all the Crossbow commands at all.
Eg,
when i use,
#dladm create-vnic -d nge0 1
I get the entire set of dladm command that are allowed on my system!
however ,
dladm show-link,
works just fine?
It does not contain "create-vnic", rather had "create-vlan"
Now how do i figure out if my version supports crossbow or not
I am running snv 83.
And as far as i know ,the support must have gone in from 79a right?
Or are there any modules that needs to be enabled or downloaded to get this working?

Thanks
