I'm facing a problem and I doubt about the solution (I'm not very familiar with old *NIXs).
An external network supplier (let's call them "telco") just installed new communication components that filters MAC addresses.
I have a Solaris 5 server, with 1 NIC (hte0) which is configured with 3 IP addresses, each on a virtual device: hte0, hte0:1 and hte0:2.
Telco's hardware needs 2 accesses to my Solaris server, with 2 different IPs AND different MAC.
As the server is vital for quite a lot of people, I can't allow it to shutdown and spend time installing a new NIC (besides, as the server is an old SUN, finding a network card will be hard and expensive).
What I guess could be an alternative would be
Code:
ifconfig hte0
ifconfig hte0:3 plumb
ifconfig hte0:3 10.2.1.253/24 up
ifconfig hte0:3 down
ifconfig hte0:3 hw ether ab:ba:12:34:56:78
ifconfig hte0:3 up
But I'm not sure the
Code:
ifconfig hte0:3 hw ether ab:ba:12:34:56:78
will be OK with such an old OS... (makes me feel old too, saying such a thing... ).
Hardware virtualization was not really developed, back then...
Has anyone had a similar problem?
As this server is vital (and I really mean that), I don't want to shut it down if it can be avoided!
PS: sorry for my weird formulations, English is not my mother-tongue and I hate automated translators...
It will not work. MAC address on logical interface (hte0:1, hte0:2 ...) is always the same as MAC address on physical interface on which it is created.

I'm afraid I can guess your answer but.... is there any way to "spoof" that MAC address, event if that implies the use of "borderline tools"?
You can have more than one mac address on a single physical interface with OpenSolaris but not on any released Solaris version (i.e. 10 and older). However, there is no such thing as Solaris 5.0. What OS release are you actually running (cat /etc/release) and on what hardware ?

Hi,
We have a 4 port Sun gigaswift NIC card on our sun fire server.
If the card is a physical one I know how to check the settings/speed. But since this is a virtual card with 4 ports , I am not sure as how we can check the settings.

All,
I have a need to software change the MAC address of a NIC in a Sparc Ultra 10 - I believe there is a command that allows to do this at boot up?
Is it a missing (to me) part of ifconfig ?
If so, what is the syntax?
All replies gratefully received !
Thanks
