Error ifconfig ge0 plumb
Hello Folks, can anyone please help me with this ?! Smilie

I'm using Solaris 10 with Sun V880 which has two Networks Interfaces, a Fiber (ge0) and a cooper (eri0).

The eri0 is working great but when I try to plumb the ge0 interface ...

Code:
# ifconfig ge0 plumb
ifconfig: cannot open link "ge0": DLPI link does not exist
# ifconfig ge0 auto-dhcp
Jun 14 17:35:40 itnetmon02 /sbin/dhcpagent[67]: dhcp_dlpi_open: open on `/dev/ge': No such file or directory
ifconfig: ge0: interface does not exist or cannot be managed using DHCP

However if I do ls in /dev I can see the ge

Code:
# ls /dev

Is that whole output of prtdiag -v?

Yes it is, however:

Code:
# cat /etc/path_to_inst | grep ge
"/pci@8,600000/network@1" 0 "ge"
#

I'm getting confused because during the install the interface was configured automatically with DHCP, then the eri0 get a DHCP address too (I want both interfaces UP and in diferent networks, the eri will be the management interface and the ge will the interface the clienst will access it) and after that the ge interface stopped working.

Code:
#  cat /etc/path_to_inst | grep network
"/pci@9,700000/network@1,1" 0 "eri"
"/pci@8,600000/network@1" 0 "ge"
