Solaris

Hi,

I'v just installed solaris 10 on a server. I have configured 4 nic card's, but when i reboot the system i have to ifup all 4 of them evertime after a reboot. How can i solve this ?

manually typing "ifconfig bge3 up" etc is a temporary configuring of the interface and it wont survive a reboot.

If you want to easilly configure your interface automatically on reboot do something like

Edit the following file (where bge3 is the interface you are configuring)
vi /etc/hostname.bge3

Add the host alias for the IP to be configured
eg. server_int4

Of course server_int4 must be in the /etc/inet/hosts file for you to do this. Alternatively you could just put the IP address in there. But its good practice to use hostnames.

You should also put an entry in the /etc/inet/netmasks file that has the network and subnet in it.

If you want to create a default route then you should put a host alias for the defaultrouter in /etc/defaultrouter file.

Im afraid that static routes will require you put the "route add" command in a startup script.

Not really, you can use routeadm.

or manually create the file "/etc/inet/routes" with the needed routes...

The files already exists with the netmasks and hosts, one in /etc/hosts and /etc/netmasks and in /etc/inet/hosts and /etc/inet/netmasks

Which files exists ?
Have you created the /etc/hostname.<interface> files as suggested ?

It all works

I created the hostnam.int and edited the hosts file in /etc and in /etc/inet and it all works just fine now.

thnx
