Hi,
Can any one let me know that how can i manually assign a IP on the Intel platform running solaris 10 coz ,
when I fire the following command
ifconfig hme0 plumb
then i get ifconfig : hme0 : plumb ; no such file or directory
also I have tried to assign a IP in the Host file ( /etc/inet/host)
or /etc/hosts file and rebooted the system system but it didn't work out
I have also created a file name /etc/hostname.hme0 and manually added a hostname entry in it but that too failed
Also I have fire the following command
ifconfig hme0 inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast + up
but that too fail with the same error hme0 no such file or directory
In the /etc I have only hosts file but , according to solaris it says that it creates a /etc/hostname.INTERFACE file say /etc/hostname.hme0 but there is no such file in /etc/dir.
I think Intel platform does not support this and for this we need a SPARC system if we want to assign a manual IP to the system Please do let me know..................
