If your IP is dynamic, Solaris should get you connected to web, without your intervention. Just make sure the DHCP client is running (it runs, by default). Also check this compatibility list: http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/sol/components/views/networking_all_results.page1.html
If everything looks good, you can try "inetmenu" tool to get a valid IP address. More information is available at OpenSolaris web site: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/inetmenu/

Configuring networking on Solaris 10

How do I configure networking on Solaris 10, is there a single command or must I edit each file individually?
If so, what's the format of /etc/hostname.hme0

turnstile:
That advice will only work if the original poster has
a Sun SPARC system with certain integrated 10/100 Ethernet.
They didn't tell us what system they actually had.
The device instance name applies to its associated chipset.
HME is different from ERI, is different from DMFE, is different from DNET, is different from IPBR, etc, etc, etc.
etcetra:
Do the sys-unconfig procedure. If you have a recognized network controller,
it will prompt you with sufficient questions to configure it,
particularly if you do not know what actual chipset you might have,
and want a setup that survives a reboot.

Networking with solaris 7 on x86

Hi all
i installed Solaris 7 on 2 intel pcs. At the time of installing solaris 7, i was only asked to provide the host name, it didn't ask for the IP address. So after installation I saw a line in /etc/hosts file which is different from Sparc machines. Here is how it looked:
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost neptune
where neptune the local machine name, where i installed the os. Now i edited the /etc/hosts file following way
127.0.0.1 localhost
175.145.135.10 neptune loghost
after saving it, i tried to ping it:
ping neptune or ping 175.145.135.10
i get error message saying "ICMP error, host/gateway unreachable"
Does anyone have idea how to do networking in x86 running on Solaris 7???
thanks
Pranoz

Hi Allen
thanks for your help. I did that, but still it did not ask me for ip address or any network info. Then i tried to manually update /etc/hosts file with following lines it:
127.0.0.1 localhost
175.165.155.10 neptune loghost
After that i rebooted the machine and tried to
1. ping 127.0.0.1
2. ping neptune
3. ping 175.165.155.10
#1 returns "127.0.0.1' is alive. But #2 and #3 return following message:
ICMP Net unreachable from gateway localhost (127.0.0.1) for ICMP from localhost(127.0.0.1) to neptune(175.165.55.10)"
Does anyone has any experience/idea about how to configure network with solaris 7 on Intel platform??
Your help is grealty appreciated
thanks

Need help - setup network in solaris

Hello! Today I install Solaris 10 for learning in my laptop and have some trouble. Please help me
1. Set up network interface for wi-fi card iwi0
(a. ifconfig iwi0 plumb
b. wificonfig iwi0 connect airJet
c. ifconfig iwi0 dhcp)
2. Set up default route (route add default 192.168.100.2 (its my access point with dhcp server))
Ping -s 192.168.100.2 -> done
But when I trying in Firefox open any url - recieve error "host not found"
okay. in terminal i put
ping google.com
and recieve answer
host not found
What is my problem?
Thanks for u answers.

Try changing hosts line in /etc/nsswitch.conf to:
hosts dns files
so that hostnames will be resolved via your dns servers. You also need to enter dns server info in /etc/resolv.conf.

Problem setting up networking in Solaris 8

Hi,
I have been struggling for a couple of days with the following problem:
I am running Solaris 8 on an Intel networked machine. The NIC is D-Link DFE-530TX+, I had to download a beta driver for Solaris 8 from Realtek (this NIC uses a Reltek 8139 chipset). As far as I could see the driver installation went OK, I see the Ethernet interface with "ifconfig -a".
I am using a home network with a Linux gateway to a cable Internet connection. The problem is, however, that the gateway (or any other machine on the local network) is not visible from my new Solaris 8 box. When I try to ping other machines on the network, the Solaris 8 box first broadcasts an ARP request to resolve the IP address to a hardware address -- I verified that with "snoop" and could also see that the network switch was showing traffic to all nodes. It seems, however, that none of the other machines reply or that they reply but the Solaris box does not get the answer... I tried to "hardcode" the Ethernet hardware addresses of the other machines into ARP (as in "arp -s <host_name> <hardware_address>") -- the result was that the Solaris did not do the ARP broadcast before the ping (since it had the hardware address of the pinged box) but it also did not receive a reply to any of the ping requests (this time, the network switch showed traffic between the Solaris box and the pinged box only).
Exactly the same problem occurs when I try to ping the Solaris box from other boxes on the local network (first, no reply to the ARP broadcast, then, after hardcoding the Ethernet address, no reply to the ping request). It seems that the Solaris and the rest of the machines on the network do not speak the same language :)
I am really kind of stuck since I do not know if it is a problem with the beta driver for the D-Link DFE-530TX+ (unlikely) or something that I am doing wrong (likely). I considered using another NIC to test if I sould configure the machine fine but I decided to check if anyone can help me with an advice.
Any help or suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
[email protected]

Hi,
It's me again. Just wanted to give some more information...
I could confirm that the Solaris 8 box actually transmits data on the network via the D-Link DFE-530TX+ adapter but does not receive anything. What I did was:
1. A "tcpdump" (Linux stuff) on the gateway Linux machine and then a "ping" from the Solaris 8 machine to the Linux box with no ARP setup on the Solaris 8 box (the Solaris box first sends an ARP request to get the MAC address of the Linux box). The Linux machine showed that it does receive the ARP requests (something like "who is linux.machine.name") and that it does send back its MAC address to the Solaris box (something like "linux.machine.name is at MAC ..."). The Solaris machine did not receive crap ("snoop" did not show anything and "netstat" showed no incoming packages).
2. Same thing as above but specified the Linux machine MAC in ARP manually. Solaris did not send the ARP request but sent an ICMP echo request right away from the "ping". The Linux box got the request ("tcpdump" showed that) and sent an acknowledgement back. Solaris did not see crap again.
3. A "ping" request from Linux to Solaris. Linux sent the ARP request first to get the MAC of Solaris and (you may have already guessed it) Solaris did not receive crap and Linux decided that Solaris is unreachable.
4. Same as 3 but I ran it a short period of time after case 1 (note that the ARP request from the Solaris box was received during case 1 and had the Solaris MAC address in it which Linux wisely cached and used for the ICMP echo request from the "ping" instead of trying to obtain it like in case 3). Well, it should sound familiar, but Solaris did not see crap again.
Actually, I think it is impossible for my Solaris machine to receive anything on the D-Link DFE-530TX+ adapter using the RealTek driver (rtls is the name). After a day of futile efforts, netstat showed 0 incoming packages.
I am about ready to give up... My D-Link card is revision C1 which, according to the D-Link support people, should have a RealTek 8139 chipset (that is NOT the name printed on the chip itself). Obviously either the RealTek driver is buggy or the chipset on my card is not what it is...
Any (last) suggestions are welcome. Is there anybody out there that used ANY drivers for the D-Link DFE-520TX+ and got it working? Anybody?

Discovering additional network configurations

Can someone help me. While trying to install solaris 10 in my ultra 80. I keep getting a hangup while discovering additional network configurations. How can I disable this so it doesnt happen anymore.

boot cdrom -vs is supposed to take you to a functional environment,
into single-user mode, and do so in a verbose fashion.
That is exactly what the command does. Thus it's functioning properly.
To start your OS installation, just boot to the cdrom.
OK boot cdrom <enter>
If you want it to do so in a verbose fashion, use the -v command switch.
... just do not use the letter "s" in the command and it will start the install.
During this entire discussion, you never mentioned whether you even tried
to probe the SCSI bus to see whether the drives were recognized by OBP.
If OBP doesn't see them, then your system will fail back to trying to discover
a boot device on the network ( along any network pathway that could possibly exist ).

Windows (or other OS) network configuration

Hello all,
I've been asked to develop a Java software that should be able to modify network configuration (IP, mask, ...) of a PC. Is this possible? I don't think so, but, please help me!!
Thank you so much

I have to use Windows, now, but this process could be repeated on Mac or Linux, Solaris, ... not sure yet. But Windows is surely mandatory.
The software I need to develop has to do this things:
- read computer network configuration (IP, mask, gateway, DHCP, ... all the things in IP network connection of Windows);
- save this configuration (let me call it "office configuration") somewhere;
- change the active configuration to apply a "local" or "direct" configuration that will be used to directly connect (with a cross cable) the pc to a network device (Digital Microwave Radio Links Low/Medium Capacity, for Short-Haul PDH Networks I'm working on). Something like IP=10.0.1.x, mask=255.255.255.0 or so and so on for local direct connection;
- do the things on this device (software exists);
- restore office configuration at the end of the software.
Is this possible? Thank you very much.

Network - configure - nge0, nge1

I did try configure eth's but I didn't have success.
I need configure like this:
nge0 (eth0):
IP: 192.168.0.117
mask sub-rede: 255.255.255.0
Gateway : 192.168.0.254
DNS: 192.168.0.254
and nge1 (eth1):
DHCP
Any one can help-me?
thanks...

a bit confusing about the nic names, but you can't rename the interface names.
otherwise:
# default route
echo "192.168.0.254" > /etc/defaultrouter
# ip address
echo "192.168.0.117 hostname" >> /etc/hosts
echo "192.168.0.117 hostname" >> /etc/inet/ipnodes
echo "hostname" > /etc/hostname.nge0
# dns
echo "nameserver 192.168.0.254" >> /etc/resolv.conf
svcadm restart network/physical #solaris 10
I have some scripts that helps for setting up networks, mainly made for ipmp and aggregation but it works as well for just a plane setup.

How to handle changing IPv6 network configurations

Hi,
I run a Mac Mini as a server with OS X Server 10.8.5/2.2 on it using an internet connection with DS-lite. The server runs fine on a private IPv4 and a public IPv6 assigned by the ISP thrugh my router. Now from time to time (on some really odd days 5 times a day) my ISP decides to change my IPv6 prefix and as a consequence the IPv6 of my server. This results in a warning and some services seem to work not always properly. When I handle the warning and update the network configuration (although all relevant pieces of configuration that are shown along this proces remain unchanged), everything is back to normal.
Now I wonder whether there is better way to handle changing IPv6 prefixes while everything else is unchanged? Any thougths? Thanks. Steffen

I'll add my 2 cents too Sudheer...
I suppose your versioning strategy should take into account your particular circumstances, impact analysis, ESB architecture etc...
In our case it makes sense to version the service operations because we have some consumers that want to stay on the older version & other that want to move with the changing versions...
We've noticed that SAP, with the standard delivered enterprise services also version step the service operations so you esentially have 2 service contracts but one that caters for additional fields/functionality. The consumer uses the service operation that they prefer.
The other possibility, if you are in a position to make the new fields 'optional' then you could do that without impacting all the consumers, the consumers that have the additional info to pass in the request can do so & the other consumers can carry on business as usual.
Then you could also version step the entire service, that would entail making use of a new software component version but this would entail new endpoints & depending on your architecture it could impact all your consumers. If you're using an integrated ESB architecture, your consumers would have one endpoint & the ESB would route the request to the relevant service version.
So you could minise impact on the consumers & develop a good versioning strategy depending on what your current situation is.

How to configure Solaris 10 IPMP for Oracle VDI 3.3.2

Hi,
Does anyone have an indication on how to configure Solaris 10 IPMP in a manner that supports Oracle VDI?
We have setup two servers with 2 test addresses on physical and 1 logical for the hostname of the box, but when we configure VDI the VDI database does not come up on the 2nd box. We have also tried configuring IPMP without test addresses, but it doesn't make any difference - the DB still doesn't go into the up state after configuration on the 2nd server.
Solaris 10 u9 with patches
Two physical NICs on management VLAN via 2 switches
Two physical NIcs on VDI VLAN via 2 switches
VDI 3.3.2
All hostnames are in DNS and resolve for short name, FQDN and also reverse IP lookup
The is a proposal pdf on Oracle website that mentions IPMP, so someone has done it. Just could do with a hint on how it was done so that it works.
( http://www.oracle.com/us/technologies/virtualization/vdi-design-proposal-1401195.pdf )
Thanks
Paul

OK, updating this with what was causing the issue.
Not an IPMP problem this was a DNS problem. The VDI servers have access to two DNS environments, so had a DNS search path that had the domain where the VMs where going to go and another for management of the box with two DNS servers listed in /etc/resolv.conf.
We configured VDI using the FQDN for the management DNS, however the vda-config script takes the hostname of the box adds the first DNS domain from /etc/resolv.conf search entry and configures using (it seams to ignore what you put into the vda-config). When the config script comes to configuring MySQL because the names didn't match (FQDN it created by adding hostname to the 1st entry in DNS search path & FQDN that you put into vda-config command), it decides that it is configuring a "Client MySQL" instance rather than a "Slave MySQL" instance, which means the VDA DB never comes up in the out of vda-center status.
So the fix is to:
1) configure IPMP without test addresses (so traffic comes out of the correct IP and can be reverse looked up in DNS by the other host)
2) if you have multiple DNS search entries, configure VDI using the first entry in your search path as its FQDN

Multihomed network configuration

So, when I say multihomed what I really mean is that Macbook Air is configured to use two network interfaces -- Wi-Fi and USB ethernet -- in one Location. Each interface is configured to work on a different subnet. In fact, wi-fi is assigned a public IP address of 195.88.xxx.xxx, and USB ethernet NIC a private address of 192.168.0.252/24. Wi-Fi is en0, and USB ethernet is en2. Both interfaces are in active state.
My goal is to have MBA to route all traffic to en0, except for 192.168.0.0/24 network which I want to go via en2, the USB ethernet card.
The topology is pretty simple:
Linux Laptop <--- Linksys Cisco Router <---   en2 via <--- MBA ---> via en0   ---> Linksys Cisco Router ---> <Internet>
Essentially, I need to put en2 on the ethernet segment where the Linux laptop is to be able to talk to it directly. No routing needed. This apporach works without any problems in Linux environment. However, on Mac OS X it doesn't work and it makes me wonder why.
A few details on what happens on the network:
tcpdump output from Linux machine (it is assigned 192.168.0.253/24):
13:08:17.476326 ARP, Request who-has 192.168.0.253 tell 192.168.0.252, length 46

and this is tcpdump output from Macbook Air:

13:08:21.477168 ARP, Request who-has 192.168.0.253 tell 192.168.0.252, length 28
I tried Service Reorder (in System Settings->Network) and set en2 as the first device on the list, or one position behind en0. It doesn't change anything.
My question is similar to these discussions:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2297388?start=0&tstart=0
https://discussions.apple.com/message/9984744?messageID=9984744#9984744?messageI D=9984744
and in one of them it is implied that no extra configuration should be made beyond what I've already done, but clearly Mac OS X doesn't see ARP request reply from the Linux machine.
BTW, firewalls are down on both systems.
I also found this network configuration manual for Princeton University campus network
http://www.net.princeton.edu/mac/network-config-x-10.8/caveats.html#ip-weakend
that claims that Mac OS X actually cannot do what I'm attempting to and refers to Weak End System Model which in essence is described in RFC4907 as:
In the Weak End System model, addresses refer to a host. As a
        result, packets sent on an outgoing interface need not
        necessarily have a source address configured on that interface,
        and incoming packets whose destination address does not
        correspond to the physical interface through which it is
        received are accepted.
That could explain why ARP request reply never makes it back to Mac OS X.
So, any ideas? Any tips?
I'd highly appreciate help of the community because I'm stuck

I dont have a PSC2210 but one of the documents I saw said to go to the front panel of the printer, press the Setup button, press 6 and then press 1 to print the Network Configuration page.
