SUNW, hme0: Link Down - Cable problem
Ultra E150 Solaris 2.5.1 Oracle server. was working fine, then started losing network connection. I can see in messages file that it was complaining about another device using its ip address. Though not any longer, though I wonder if that was a red herring. My IT guys have now re-reserved its ip address on the dhcp server. I have restarted it several times but it won't talk to the network. I tried changing its ip address to another reserved one, but Oracle complains, the ip must be embedded in that somewhere. Should the ethernet cable socket flash when connected on this hardware? it doesn't. I tried a different cable, direct into a different hub.

Dear Reader,
I have a very unique problem. Quite often my on board ethernet port( hme0 ) related message is appearing in /var/adm/messages.
The message is hme0: babble.. The port is up and alive.
What does this message mean.. Is the on board port is about to fail??
Thanks in advance, (2 Replies)

How do you configure more than one network on a single hme0 interface under SunOS? And why would you want to do this?
Thanx :)

Hi all,
Is there any difference between a null modem cable or a modem cable ?
i assume that a null modem cable is a normal cable that i used from cpu serial ports to a modem for dialup.

DE(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual DE(4)
NAME
de - DEC DEUNA 10 Mb/s Ethernet interface
SYNOPSIS
/sys/conf/SYSTEM:
NDE de_controllers # DEUNA
DESCRIPTION
The de interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network through a Digital Equipment UNIBUS Network Adapter (DEUNA).
Each of the host's network addresses is specified at boot time with an SIOCSIFADDR ioctl. The de interface employs the address resolution
protocol described in arp(4P) to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local network.
The interface normally tries to use a ``trailer'' encapsulation to minimize copying data on input and output. The use of trailers is nego-
tiated with ARP. This negotiation may be disabled, on a per-interface basis, by setting the IFF_NOTRAILERS flag with an SIOCSIFFLAGS
ioctl.
DIAGNOSTICS
de%d: hardware address %s. This is a normal autoconfiguration message noting the 6 byte physical ethernet address of the adapter.
de%d: oerror, flags=%b tdrerr=%b (len=%d). The hardware indicated an error in transmitting a packet to the cable. The status and error
flags are reported.
de%d: ierror, flags=%b lenerr=%b (len=%d). The hardware indicated an error in reading a packet from the cable. The status and error flags
are reported.
de%d: can't handle af%d. The interface was handed a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address family; the packet was
dropped.
de%d: buffer unavailable. The interface received more packets than it had buffers allocated to receive them.
de%d: address change failed, csr0=%b csr1=%b. The interface was unable to reprogram its physical ethernet address. This may happen with
very early models of the interface. This facility is used only when the controller is not the first network interface configured for XNS.
The following messages indicate a probable hardware error performing the indicated operation during autoconfiguration or initialization.
The two control and status registers should indicate the nature of the failure. See the hardware manual for details.
de%d: reset failed, csr0=%b csr1=%b.
de%d: ppcb failed, csr0=%b csr1=%b.
de%d: read addr failed, csr0=%b csr1=%b.
de%d: wtring failed, csr0=%b csr1=%b.
de%d: wtmode failed, csr0=%b csr1=%b.
