ifconfig -a vs dladm show-dev and IP ?
Can anyone please explain what does these means ?

Code:
# dladm show-dev
nxge0           link: up        speed: 1000  Mbps       duplex: full
nxge1           link: up        speed: 1000  Mbps       duplex: full
e1000g0         link: up        speed: 1000  Mbps       duplex: full

Do they means I have 2 network interfaces card with 7 ports(dladm show-dev) and 5 ports(ifconfig -a) ? and where can I see the IP address of nxge0? nxge1? and so on ? Sorry for being naive, I just started as Solaris Engineer.

i would say you have 2 network cards (with two ports each) and 4 onboard networkinterfaces. the output of "prtdiag -v" would be helpfull to know more.
from "ifconfig" you can see there are only two interfaces (e1000g0 and 1) configured with vlan tagging. the other interfaces are connected (not e1000g4 and 5) but not configured with an ip address.
but your machine might be a cluster (or something else...) which uses the interfaces in an other way...

nxge cards and other e1000X NICs not visible in ifconfig output are probably just not configured. You can "plumb" them so they will be visible in ifconfig and then configure them with proper IP addresses. Start with:
Code:
ifconfig nxge0 plumb

Do the same for the rest of the NICs. Other interfaces you are seeing in the output - e1000g2001000, etc, are VLAN interfaces configured on e1000g0 and e1000g1. You can figure out on which interface they are configured by looking at the last digit in the NICs name: e1000g0 - e1000g2001000, e1000g1 - e1000g2002001

thanks guy....prtdiag output

Code:
# prtconf -D | grep network
        network, instance #0 (driver name: nxge)
        network, instance #1 (driver name: nxge)
                network, instance #0 (driver name: e1000g)
                network, instance #1 (driver name: e1000g)
                network, instance #2 (driver name: e1000g)
                network, instance #3 (driver name: e1000g)
                network, instance #4 (driver name: e1000g)
                network, instance #5 (driver name: e1000g)


so this output mean, i have 2 cards with nxge0 and nxge1........AND e1000g0 e1000g1 ?

The interfaces that show up in dladm but not with ifconfig might also be used by exclusive IP non global zones.
