Hello Folks, can anyone please help me with this ?!
I'm using Solaris 10 with Sun V880 which has two Networks Interfaces, a Fiber (ge0) and a cooper (eri0).
The eri0 is working great but when I try to plumb the ge0 interface ...
Code:
# ifconfig ge0 plumb
ifconfig: cannot open link "ge0": DLPI link does not exist
# ifconfig ge0 auto-dhcp
Jun 14 17:35:40 itnetmon02 /sbin/dhcpagent[67]: dhcp_dlpi_open: open on `/dev/ge': No such file or directory
ifconfig: ge0: interface does not exist or cannot be managed using DHCP
I am trying to change an IP address on a machine running HPUX10
After I change it I can ping it from the outside but it completely locks the console. After a reboot it returns back to its previous IP. Any ideas??
Thanks

I know that I could use the
#ifconfig hme0 plumb
to activate the network interface.
However, how can I know the name of the interface e.g. hme0 before I could use the ifconfig to plumb it up?
I know there is a command (but I forgot it) to use in the Sparc version when you are in the... (7 Replies)
why the ifconfig command is not working in my machine?
it says "-bash: ifconfig: command not found"
why its says that?
actually i m looking for "how can I know the Network Interface Card physical address?"
Requesting u all for help.

Hello everyone.
Im using last redhat enterprise edition and in my working environment, i'm always reconfiguring both interfaces , eth0 and eth1, everytime i change any interface, (i use ifconfig to change ip, and after i execute "/etc/init.d/network restart") my "/etc/hosts" file... (9 Replies)
its a fresh installation. during the OS setup, it did not prompt for IP, netmask and gateway. using Solaris 10 08/07 update 4. I tried to plumb manually but encountered no such interface error. but nxge interfaces can be greped from the /etc/path_to_inst file.
getting similar error on... (3 Replies)
Hi All,
I need some info on ifconfig.
ifconfig is available in Linux and Solaris. However the options available in Solaris is not there in Linux.

vni
vni(7d) Devices vni(7d)NAME
vni - STREAMS virtual network interface driver
DESCRIPTION
The vni pseudo device is a multi-threaded, loadable, clonable, STREAMS pseudo-device supporting the connectionless Data Link Provider
Interface dlpi(7P) Style 2. Note that DLPI is intended to interact with IP, meaning that DLPI access to applications is not supported. (For
example, snoop fails on the vni interface.)
The vni device is a software-only interface and does not send or receive data. The device provides a DLPI upper interface that identifies
itself to IP with a private media type. It can be configured via ifconfig(1M) and can have IP addresses assigned to it, making aliases pos-
sible.
The vni pseudo device is particularly useful in hosting an IP address when used in conjunction with the 'usesrc' ifconfig option (see
ifconfig(1M) for examples). The logical instances of the device can also be used to host addresses as an alternative to hosting them over
the loopback interface.
Multicast is not supported on this device. More specifically, the following options return an error when used with an address specified on
vni: IP_MULTICAST_IF, IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP, IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP, IPV6_MULTICAST_IF, IPV6_JOIN_GROUP, IPV6_LEAVE_GROUP. In addition, broadcast
is not supported.
Because there is no physical hardware configured below it, no traffic can be received through nor transmitted on a virtual interface. All
packet transmission and reception is accomplished with existing physical interfaces and tunnels. Because applications that deal with packet
transmission and reception (such as packet filters) cannot filter traffic on virtual interfaces, you cannot set up a packet filter on a
virtual interface. Instead, you should configure the policy rules to apply to the physical interfaces and tunnels, and if necessary, use
the virtual IP addresses themselves as part of the rule configuration. Also, note that the virtual interface cannot be part of an IP multi-
pathing (IPMP) group.
