Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Configuring Solaris 10 SPARC for internet ready connection Post 303035027 by alphatron150 on Saturday 11th of May 2019 06:59:19 AM

Hi there. thanks for your reply.


To clarify the situation I have a WIFI extender plugged into the domestic 240v mains wall socket. The device itself has been configured to be a bridge between my domestic ISP modem/router and any device that uses wifi. The wifi extender has 2 female RJ45 ethernet sockets on the deive to allow ethernet connection between the Wifi extender and the proposed machine (in this case my SPARC server. The Wifi extender connects to my Router box via wifi.


WhenI first installed Solaris 10 I had to install the ethernet port

Please wrap all code, files/data, input & output/errors in CODE tags.
It makes it easier to read and preserves multiple spaces for indenting or fixed-width data.


Code:
(ifconfig e1000g0 plumb up)


When this was done there was no IP address assigned to the e1000g0 device. So I had to assign an IP address that my router box could accept


Code:
ifconfig 192.168.0.22 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast + up




I shall rectify the /etc/hosts and the /etc/hostname.e1000g0 files. If this process fails I shall return back to you


I hope I have clarified myself more with this post!

VLAN-INTERFACES(5)						   File formats 						VLAN-INTERFACES(5)

NAME
/etc/network/interfaces (vlan) - vlan extensions for the interfaces(5) file format DESCRIPTION
/etc/network/interfaces contains network interface configuration information for the ifup(8) and ifdown(8) commands. This manpage describes the vlan extensions to the standard interfaces(5) file format. Primary extensions exist to make and destroy vlan interfaces, secondary extensions exist for ipv4 interface manipulation which are gener- ally needed when using (a lot of) vlans. VLAN CREATION
Vlan interface definitions exist of the vlan interface name, and an optional 'raw-device' parameter. Vlan interfaces are numbered 1 to 4095. You have the option to have interface names zero-padded to 4 numbers, or just the plain digits without leading zero. The following example shows four ways to create a vlan with id 1 on interface eth0. They all result in different names. iface eth0.1 inet static address 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 iface vlan1 inet static vlan-raw-device eth0 address 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 iface eth0.0001 inet static address 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 iface vlan0001 inet static vlan-raw-device eth0 address 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 # We don't have br support out of the box iface br0.2 inet static vlan-raw-device br0 address 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 # Aliases are ignored iface br0.2:1 inet static address 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 EXTRA IFACE OPTIONS
Usually someone who uses vlans also wants to do some other manipulations with the ip stack or interface. vlan-raw-device devicename Indicates the device to create the vlan on. This is ignored when the devicename is part of the vlan interface name. ip-proxy-arp 0|1 Turn proxy-arp off or on for this specific interface. This also works on plain ethernet like devices. ip-rp-filter 0|1|2 Set the return path filter for this specific interface. This also works on plain ethernet like devices. hw-mac-address mac-address This sets the mac address of the interface before bringing it up. This works on any device that allows setting the hardware address with the ip command. AUTHOR
