To assign manually IP address in Solaris 10 ( intel)
Hi,
Can any one let me know that how can i manually assign a IP on the Intel platform running solaris 10 coz ,
when I fire the following command
ifconfig hme0 plumb
then i get ifconfig : hme0 : plumb ; no such file or directory
also I have tried to assign a IP in the Host file ( /etc/inet/host)
or /etc/hosts file and rebooted the system system but it didn't work out
I have also created a file name /etc/hostname.hme0 and manually added a hostname entry in it but that too failed
Also I have fire the following command
ifconfig hme0 inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast + up
but that too fail with the same error hme0 no such file or directory
In the /etc I have only hosts file but , according to solaris it says that it creates a /etc/hostname.INTERFACE file say /etc/hostname.hme0 but there is no such file in /etc/dir.
I think Intel platform does not support this and for this we need a SPARC system if we want to assign a manual IP to the system Please do let me know..................

nodename
nodename(4) File Formats nodename(4) NAME
nodename - local source for system name SYNOPSIS
/etc/nodename DESCRIPTION
When a machine is standalone or its IP address is configured locally, the /etc/nodename file contains the system name. By convention, the system name is the same as the hostname associated with the IP address of the primary network interface, for example, hostname.hme0. If the machine's network configuration is delivered by the RPC bootparams protocol, the /etc/nodename file is not used, as the system name is delivered by the remote service. Given a system name value, regardless of source, the uname utility invoked with the -S option is used to set the system name of the running system. If the machine's network configuration is delivered by the DHCP protocol, the /etc/nodename file is used only if the DHCP server does not provide a value for the Hostname option (DHCP standard option code 12). A system name configured in /etc/nodename should be unique within the system's name service domain in order to ensure that any network ser- vices provided by the system will operate correctly. Given a system name value, regardless of source, the uname utility invoked with the -S option is used to set the system name of the running system. EXAMPLES
Example 1 Syntax The syntax for nodename consists of a single line containing the system's name. For example, for a system named myhost: myhost ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWcsu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
NIS+(1), uname(1), named(1M), ypbind(1M), attributes(5) NOTES
The nodename file is modified by Solaris installation and de-installation scripts. SunOS 5.11 9 Feb 2004 nodename(4)
