Changing the default network Interface
Hello:
I have a Sun E250 with an on board hme0 interface, I also have installed a gigabit ethernet (GE0) card. When the system boots up it defaults to the on board Hme0 card. I would like it to default to the GE0 card. I believe this can be done thru the OK prompt using the show-nets and devalias commands. I just can't find any documentation on this. Could one of you please help me out?

You'll want to be on the console if hme0 is your only access to the system. Are you sure the system sees ge0? Can you ifconfig hme0 unplumb, ifconfig ge0 plumb, ifconfig ....<etc> setup your network on ge0?

If you can, a simple mv /etc/hostname.hme0 /etc/hostname.ge0 and reboot would give you what you want.

Cheers,

Keith
