Networking help
What am I doing wrong, I configure interfaces ce1,ce,2 and ce3 but when I reboot the server they lose the configuration and I have to reset them?


Code:
ifconfig ce1 plumb
ifconfig ce2 plumb
ifconfig ce1 155.216.13.72 netmask 255.255.255.240
ifconfig ce2 155.216.13.73 netmask 255.255.255.240
ifconfig ce1 up
ifconfig ce2 up

I created files these files

Code:
hostname.ce1
hostname.ce2
hostname.ce3

and added the ip's for the other interfaces in the host entry

hosts

Code:
::1     localhost
127.0.0.1       localhost
155.216.13.71   dixxa0accvce005 loghost
155.216.13.72   dixxa0accvce005a
155.216.13.73   dixxa0accvce004b
155.216.13.74   dixxa0accvce009

I think the disconnect here is that you need to put the hostname in the /etc/hostname.ce1,2,3 files. So, in your instance, put a different hostname in each file corresponding to the ip address you want assigned to that interface.

Maybe you need to add them to the start-up scripts, as I see no promise to save the settings in a file for future reference in the man page. I did see this:

Code:
 
                                                         The ifconfig  com-
       mand  must  be  used at boot time to define the network address of each
       interface present on a machine; it may also be used at a later time  to
       redefine  an  interface's  address or other operating parameters.

This is not necessary in Solaris 10. Simply put the hostname that corresponds to the IP address you want on the interface into the proper /etc/hostname.<interface> file and you should be good.

Code:
# cat /etc/hostname.ce1
dixxa0accvce005
#

This is all you need.
