Original Question. I have an Netra-T1 that's been running fine for awhile on a single dmfe0 network interface. I want to add a second interface for a backup network. # ifconfig -a lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 8232 index 1 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000 dmfe0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2 inet 172.31.32.7 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 172.31.32.255 ether 0:3:ba:5:3a:58 # ifconfig dmfe1 172.31.34.7 ifconfig: SIOCGLIFNETMASK: dmfe1: no such interface I created /etc/hostname.dmfe1, and updated /etc/netmasks. This is the first time I've had to add an additional network interface to a Solaris box. I'm hoping I can use "ifconfig" without rebooting. Helpfull replys from Bernhard Sadlowski Jed Dobson John Sellin Darren Dunham Jeremy Rodriguez Derek Olsen Thomas Jones Rodrito Buan Gaziz Nugmanov Ryan McEwan Max Trummer Matthew Sams Steve Kondik Wolfgang Kandek Peter Stokes Asher Frenkel Peter Zimmerman Rick Waegner All pointing out you have to "ifconfig plumb" the interface first. Note on HPUX, " By default, the plumb operation is done automatically when an IP address is specified for an interface." Seems like that makes more sense. _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Thu Apr 25 09:59:59 2002
