Can't ping new PCI LAN card x4270_m2
Hi,

I've recently moved my pci LAN card from Slot2 Slot5 on my sun x4270_m2 server (solaris 10).

I've done the
Code:
touch / reconfigure

and
Code:
devfsadm

, however my issue is that im able to configure the e1000g7 port with an ip address (192.168.0.1) but if i plug my laptop (set with static ip address of 192.168.0.10) to the back of the server on port e1000g7 with a straight cable, i am not able to ping that IP address...i get 'unreachable host'

Does anyone know what I'm missing??

/Kerry

Hi DukeNuke2,

Here is the output:
Code:

e1000g7         link: down      speed: 0     Mbps       duplex: half

Any ideas?

Hi Duke,
With my laptop connected, here is the output:
Code:
root@4b>dladm show-dev
igb0            link: up        speed: 1000  Mbps       duplex: full
igb1            link: up        speed: 1000  Mbps       duplex: full
igb2            link: down      speed: 0     Mbps       duplex: half
igb3            link: down      speed: 0     Mbps       duplex: half
e1000g4         link: unknown   speed: 0     Mbps       duplex: half
e1000g5         link: unknown   speed: 0     Mbps       duplex: half
e1000g6         link: down      speed: 0     Mbps       duplex: half
e1000g7         link: up        speed: 1000  Mbps       duplex: full
root@4b>

and the ifconfig:

Code:
root@4b>ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000

        ether 0:21:28:8e:86:f0 
root@4b>

I'm sure it must be some small thing that im missing, but I still cant ping 192.168.0.10 (my laptop) from the server, or ping 192.168.0.1 from my laptop.
Hope you can help Smilie

try a "ifconfig aggr1 down" and after that, try again with the ping. you have two interfaces in the same net/subnet. so the ping might go out through the other interface.

aggr1 is btw a link aggregation which you can have a look at with "dladm show-aggr".

Hi Duke,

Excellent! It worked that time.
I see the problem now, from the ''dladm show -aggr'', it shows:
Code:
root@4b>dladm show-aggr
key: 1 (0x0001) policy: L4      address: 0:21:28:8e:86:ef (auto)
           device       address                 speed           duplex  link    state
           igb1         0:21:28:8e:86:ef          1000  Mbps    full    up      attached
           igb3         0:21:28:8e:86:f1          0     Mbps    half    down    standby
root@4b>

so igb3 is the standby in my current config, whereas i need to have e1000g7 as my standby.

I suppose I can use the 'dladm create-aggr' and create the correct interface?
