Setting IP on Solaris 10 help
Hi all,

So, I need to change the IP/netmask on 2 sun v240's running solaris 10. I seem to have done it correctly on one, it's holding the ip after a init 6 reboot. The other does not want to keep ip using same commands. I'm guessing I have to change some files I haven't yet, but have no idea how to enter info correctly into the files.

Commands I used were
Code:
#ifconfig bge0 plumb
#ifconfig bge0 <ip address> netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast + up
#ifconfig -a (just to check it went in)
#init 6
#ifconfig -a (verified it stayed) <--stayed on one, not on the other
#netstat -rn

So, with running these, do I need to update /etc/hostname.bge0 and etc/hosts ? If so, what is the format to input?

Thanks much!

post a output of your /etc/netmasks file, there must be a entry like:
Code:
192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0

changing the ip configuration with the ifconfig command is not permanent!

"netmasks" [Read only] 15 lines, 382 characters
#
# The netmasks file associates Internet Protocol (IP) address
# masks with IP network numbers.
#
# network-number netmask
#
# The term network-number refers to a number obtained from the Internet Network
# Information Center.
#
# Both the network-number and the netmasks are specified in
# "decimal dot" notation, e.g:
#
# 128.32.0.0 255.255.255.0
#
10.10.173.0 255.255.255.0

How does one make the changes stay?

do I need to make any changes to the hostname.bge0 or hosts files?

And no, they aren't.

depends on what is in the hostname.X file... usually you'll find a "hostname" and this "hostname" should be in the /etc/hosts file where he goes and read the ip...

here a example:
Code:
[root@unix] /etc/inet => more /etc/hosts
#
# Internet host table
#
::1     localhost
127.0.0.1       localhost
192.168.1.100      test123      test123.unix.com        loghost

Code:
[root@unix] /etc/inet => more /etc/hostname.e1000g0
test123

Code:
[root@unix] /etc/inet => more /etc/netmasks
#
# The netmasks file associates Internet Protocol (IP) address
# masks with IP network numbers.
#
#       network-number  netmask
#
# The term network-number refers to a number obtained from the Internet Network
# Information Center.
#
# Both the network-number and the netmasks are specified in
# "decimal dot" notation, e.g:
#
#               128.32.0.0 255.255.255.0
#
192.168.1.0       255.255.255.0
