I am running solaris 8 on the ultra 5 sparc. I used to have a static ip address set up and now I've moved and I'm trying to get dhcp working. I have read many man pages. My latest attempt was trying to use the ifconfig command to set this up but I'm not sure how to use it. How does my gateway... (9 Replies)
I have a new solaris machine and I am trying to bring the same on network. The IP assignemnt is via DHCP. I want to know as which files need to be modified to include DHCP server IP in order that the machine gets its IP via DHCP server.
Thanks in Advance. :) (1 Reply)
hi,
I have some windows client machines which require a signal to be sent by a Solaris machine( SunOS 5.6) when ever a particular event occurs on that Solaris machine. What are possible communication mechanisms by which i can do this.

This is probably really basic compared to what you guys are usually talking about here, but I have a problem and I have no idea what to do about it. I try to RSH to my Ubuntu computer from my Solaris one and run into a dead end:

dhcp - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
DESCRIPTION
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) enables host systems in a TCP/IP network to be configured automatically for the network as they
boot. DHCP uses a client/server mechanism: servers store configuration information for clients, and provide that information upon a
client's request. The information can include the client's IP address and information about network services available to the client.
This manual page provides a brief summary of the Solaris DHCP implementation.
Solaris DHCP Client
The Solaris DHCP client is implemented as background daemon, dhcpagent(1M). This daemon is started automatically during bootup if there
exists at least one dhcp.interface file in /etc. Only interfaces with a corresponding /etc/dhcp.interface file are automatically configured
during boot. Network parameters needed for system configuration during bootup are extracted from the information recieved by the daemon
through the use of the dhcpinfo(1) command. The daemon's default behavior can be altered by changing the tunables in the /etc/default/dhc-
pagent file. The daemon is controlled by the ifconfig(1M) utility. Check the status of the daemon using the netstat(1M) and ifconfig(1M)
commands.
Solaris DHCP Server
The Solaris DHCP server is implemented as a background daemon, in.dhcpd(1M). This daemon can deliver network configuration information to
either BOOTP or DHCP clients. The Solaris DHCP service can be managed using the dhcpmgr(1M) GUI or the command line utilities dhcpcon-
fig(1M), dhtadm(1M), and pntadm(1M).
DHCP Configuration Tables
The Solaris DHCP server stores client configuration information in the following two types of tables:
dhcptab tables Contain macros and options (also known as symbols), used to construct a package of configuration information to
send to each DHCP client. There exists only one dhcptab for the DHCP service. The dhcptab(4) can be viewed and mod-
ified using the dhtadm(1M) command or dhcpmgr(1M) graphical utility. See dhcptab(4) for more information about the
syntax of dhcptab records. See dhcp_inittab(4) for more information about the DHCP options and symbols.
DHCP network tables DHCP network tables, which contain mappings of client IDs to IP addresses and parameters associated with those
addresses. Network tables are named with the IP address of the network, and can be created, viewed, and modified
using the pntadm command or dhcpmgr graphical utility. See dhcp_network(4) for more information about network
tables.
