Operating Systems Solaris "Permission denied" when changing IP netmask Post 302798395 by jim mcnamara on Wednesday 24th of April 2013 11:16:48 AM

SIOCSLIFNETMASK usually relates to a bad CIDR specification or a condition in which the device is busy. You may want 255.255.255.0 (/24) as your subnet, for example if your bge1 has an ip like 10.n.n.n where none of the "n" is a zero.

NAME
ifconfig - configure a TCP/IP device SYNOPSIS
ifconfig [-I ip-device] [-h ipaddr] [-n netmask] [-iv] DESCRIPTION
Ifconfig initializes a TCP/IP device setting the IP address and/or netmask. It will report the address and netmask set. This command may be used if the system has not been configured properly yet. It is only used at boot time to set a fixed address for a system without a physical ethernet. Normally the inet task will find it out by itself from the RARP server. OPTIONS
-h The decimal TCP/IP address to set. -n The netmask to set. -i Don't set the IP address or netmask if already set. This way ifconfig cannot interfere if the numbers have been found out by RARP. -v Report IP address and netmask. This is the default action if there are no other options. SEE ALSO
hostaddr(1), rarpd(8), set_net_default(8), boot(8). AUTHOR
