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 :)

hostaddr
HOSTADDR(1) General Commands Manual HOSTADDR(1)
NAME
hostaddr - show ethernet address, IP address or hostname
SYNOPSIS
hostaddr [-eia] [-E eth-device] [-I ip-device]
DESCRIPTION
Without any of the -eia options, hostaddr shows the ethernet address, IP address and hostname of the local host on one line in the given
order. With options only the wanted fields are shown, still in the same order, not in option order.
OPTIONS
-e Show the ethernet address.
-i Show the IP address. This will not work if no IP address has been found by RARP or by setting it with ifconfig(8).
-a Show the fully qualified hostname. The IP address is shown again if it can't be translated to a host name. (This usually indicates
that the DNS reverse address translation tables are incomplete.)
SEE ALSO
ifconfig(8), rarpd(8), nonamed(8), set_net_default(8), boot(8).
DIAGNOSTICS
"Timeout"
Hostaddr timed out trying to get the IP address. This means that the network connection is out of order or that the setup of the machine
is bad.
