Yes, ok, I get that now.

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.

Code:

# ifconfig -a

should list most of your network interface configuration.

install-solaris(1M)													       install-solaris(1M)

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
       installation media. Refer to the  for disk space requirements.

       Refer to the  for more information on the various menus and selections.
