Which interface is net2 and net3 ?
Hi,
This is Solaris-10, T4-4 machine. Datacenter guy has plugged two cat6 cables in net2 and net3 interface. Other end which is going to switch port is already patched for both.
I need to configure two IP's on two NIC interfaces, but not able to figure out, which are the ports cable is plugged in. igb0 and igb1 are already in use.
Code:
/# dladm show-link
igb0            type: non-vlan  mtu: 1500       device: igb0
igb1            type: non-vlan  mtu: 1500       device: igb1
e1000g0         type: non-vlan  mtu: 1500       device: e1000g0

e1000g3         type: non-vlan  mtu: 1500       device: e1000g3
igb2            type: non-vlan  mtu: 1500       device: igb2
igb3            type: non-vlan  mtu: 1500       device: igb3

nxge7           link: unknown   speed: 0     Mbps       duplex: unknown

Is there any short way to know instead of plumbing all interfaces and configure IP and then try to make it up ?

Other options
Code:
dladm show-ether

dladm show-phys

ipadm

NOTE: ipadm will not show the interfaces up until you have actually established communications with the network.

Seems like those commands are for Solaris-11.
Code:
/# dladm show-ether
dladm: unknown subcommand 'show-ether'
usage: dladm create-aggr [-t] [-R <root-dir>] [-P <policy>]
                    [-l <mode>] [-T <time>]
                    [-u <address>] -d <dev> ... <key>
             delete-aggr [-t] [-R <root-dir>] <key>
             add-aggr    [-t] [-R <root-dir>] -d <dev> ... <key>
             remove-aggr [-t] [-R <root-dir>] -d <dev> ... <key>
             modify-aggr [-t] [-R <root-dir>] [-P <policy>]
                    [-l <mode>] [-T <time>] [-u <address>] <key>
             show-aggr [-L] [-s] [-i <interval>] [-p] [<key>]
             show-dev [-s] [-i <interval>] [-p] [<dev>]
             show-link [-s] [-i <interval>] [-p] [<name>]
             set-linkprop [-t] -p <prop>=<value>[,...] <name>
             reset-linkprop [-t] [-p <prop>,...] <name>
             show-linkprop [-cP][-p <prop>,...] <name>
 /# ipadm
bash: ipadm: command not found

When I say net2 and net3, it means that was written on that port where cable was plugged in on back side.

Try running prtdiag and looking for NET2 and NET3. This will show a device path for the interface. Use grep to look for that path in /etc/path_to_inst. The last two path_to_inst fields are the instance number and the instance name. The line will look like this: <path> 2 "igb" or similar. In this example, the device would be igb2.

Hope this helps.

It is looking like this -->
Code:
/# prtdiag -v | egrep -i "net2|net3"
/SYS/RIO/NET2     PCIE  network-pciex8086,10c9
/SYS/RIO/NET3     PCIE  network-pciex8086,10c9
 
/# cat /etc/path_to_inst | grep -i igb
"/pci@400/pci@1/pci@0/pci@2/network@0" 0 "igb"
"/pci@400/pci@1/pci@0/pci@2/network@0,1" 1 "igb"
"/pci@600/pci@1/pci@0/pci@4/network@0" 2 "igb"
"/pci@600/pci@1/pci@0/pci@4/network@0,1" 3 "igb"
"/pci@600/pci@1/pci@0/pci@4/network@0,2" 4 "igb"
"/pci@600/pci@1/pci@0/pci@4/network@0,3" 5 "igb"
"/pci@600/pci@2/pci@0/pci@3/network@0" 6 "igb"
"/pci@600/pci@2/pci@0/pci@3/network@0,1" 7 "igb"
 /# cat /etc/path_to_inst | grep -i 10c9
 /# cat /etc/path_to_inst | grep -i 8086

prtdiag prints multiple lines per device. You need to look at the second line under NET2 and NET3. That will have the path.

Looking at your path_to_inst data, I would suspect NET2 is igb6 and NET3 is igb7. igb2-5 looks to be a quad network card.

Ok, here I got -->
Code:
/SYS/RIO/NET2     PCIE  network-pciex8086,10c9
                        /pci@600/pci@2/pci@0/pci@3/network@0
/SYS/RIO/NET3     PCIE  network-pciex8086,10c9
                        /pci@600/pci@2/pci@0/pci@3/network@0,1
 /# cat /etc/path_to_inst | grep -i "/pci@600/pci@2/pci@0/pci@3/network@0"
"/pci@600/pci@2/pci@0/pci@3/network@0" 6 "igb"
 /# cat /etc/path_to_inst | grep -i "/pci@600/pci@2/pci@0/pci@3/network@0,1"
"/pci@600/pci@2/pci@0/pci@3/network@0,1" 7 "igb"

Does it mean that it is igb6 and igb7 ?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
You are correct. I am able to configure IP on them. Thanks
