If the SPARC box's ip address is 192.168.0.22 then that DOESN'T go into /etc/defaultrouter.
The ip address that you put in /etc/defaultrouter is the ip address of your router/gateway, whatever that is.
So if I'm Solaris, when I'm booting I go:
1. Look for /etc/hostname.* files and when I find /etc/hostname.e1000g0 I say, ok, that tells me that this hardware has a e1000g0 ethernet interface. I need to plumb that. If e1000g0 doesn't exist on this hardware, that's a fail.
2. Read this /etc/hostname.e1000g0 to get the host name that I am to the outside world (on this interface) eg, Jupiter. Apply that hostname to this interface. I cannot read my hostname from this file, that's a fail.
3. Read /etc/hosts and look for Jupiter and retrieve what ip address I need to be on this interface. I cannot read my own ip address from /etc/hosts, that's a fail.
4. Read the ip address from /etc/defaultrouter so that I know where to send requests for nodes outside my local network. If I can't do that, I can only talk locally.
5. What are my DNS server(s). Are any configured? If not I only know about those hosts listed in /etc/hosts and cannot resolve any other names.
That's how it goes.
should list most of your network interface configuration.
