Automatically starting DHCP on second ethernet interface in Solaris 8?

Hello,
In my current setup, I have a Solaris 8 server with two ethernet interfaces - elxl0, which is connected to my internal network and has a static IP, and elxl1, which is connected to a cable modem and gets its address via DHCP.
When I reboot the machine, it brings both interfaces up, but does not start DHCP on elxl1 automatically. I have an empty /etc/hostname.elxl1, which I thought was supposed to tell the OS to use DHCP for that interface. I have to manually tell the interface to get an address using ifconfig auto-dhcp start.
Is there a way to tell the OS to use DHCP for elxl1 without disturbing elxl0? It would make things significantly more convenient for me, since now I have to manually start DHCP, and then reload my IP Filter NAT rules.
Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I figured it out.
What you have to do is add a file, /etc/dhcp.<interface>, in order to make this work. In my example, the file would be "/etc/dhcp.elxl1".

Using TCP on the second ethernet interface

Hello,
I'm using a PXI 8109 running Pharlap.
I'm trying to use the second ethernet interface of my PXI to send UDP and TCP packets. The primary interface is used to manage Veristand Channels.
Here is the configuration of my two ethernet interfaces:
- eth0 (primary):
IP : 10.0.0.3
subnet mask : 255.0.0.0
- eth1 :
IP : 192.168.10.9
subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
For UDP, I have no problems, packets are sent to the second interface as I want. I think it work because there is a "network address" input on the "UDP Open" VI so the system can choose the right interface.
For TCP, I use the "TCP Open a connection" VI but there is no this kind of input. And it is not working : I assume the system is trying to use the primary interface but it can't route packets...
For information, my two networks are physically independant.
Can you help me finding out what's going on ? Is it possible to use TCP on the second ethernet interface ?
Many thanks,
Regards,
Laurent

Second ethernet interface ni a cache engine

I'm trying to configure the second ethernet interface
in a CE 505, version 2.51
a "show hardware" command shows 2 ethernet interfaces, but when I go into configuration
mode and try to set any parameter in the second
interface, I get the error:
"configure interface 1 denied"
Thanks for any clue.

Hi
On a CE-505 you cannot use the second interface. This is a limitaion of the software on the device. Only if you had a content engine running version 3.x or 4.x can you use the second interface.
Best Regards,

`netctl` "randomly" started failing with ethernet interface.

I use netctl with the netctl-ifpluged service to start put up the ethernet. It stopped working, so I turned off `ifpluged` and tried manually starting the netctl profile. Doesn't work.
I get this output from `s systemctl status [email protected]`

I don't have a clue what it means, except that my stuff failed. netctl does work with with my wireless interface, and dhcpcd works on the ethernet interface. It's just the combination of ethernet and netctl
here is a copy of my "wired" profile:
Description='A basic dhcp ethernet connection'
Interface=eno1
Connection=ethernet
IP=dhcp
On a presumably unrelated note, udev "randomly" changed the name of my *wireless* interface on a kernel upgrade a few days before this problem first occurred. The ethernet interface seems to have the same name. Probably not related, but I don't know the deep magic, and I thought that was also weird and network-related, so I figured I'd mention it.

Try running this first:
# ip l set <ethernet interface name> down
And then start the profile again.

Have you tried just using dhcpcd.service to bring the ethernet connection up?
This works for me -- genuine "plug & play"

Ethernet interface disappears after waking up from sleep

Hi guys,
I've been trying to debug a networking problem without any luck and I think it's about time I ask the forum for help.
My ethernet interface no longer works after I wake up my computer from sleep. I have no idea why.
Before sleep:
# ls /sys/class/net
lo wlp2s0 enp3s0f2
After waking up from sleep,
ls /sys/class/net
lo wlp2s0
Here are the list of services I have running.

Furthermore, plugging in the ethernet cord after the computer has started doesn't connect to the internet, even when I have the ifplugd service running. I am forced to run:
sudo ip link set enp3s0f2 up
sudo dhcpcd enp3s0f2
However, I can't run these commands after the laptop wakes up from sleep since it no longer sees the ethernet interface.
I am thoroughly confused. Please help me.

It seems to be fixed after the kernel update. On an related note, I've switched from using dhcpcd to netctl. I've enabled netctl to automatically connect to the network using:
# systemctl enable [email protected]
# systemctl enable [email protected]
So when I check for the status of the ethernet profile, I get told that's it's inactive.
#netctl status ethernet-dhcp

But I turned off the wireless, so I must be connected to the ethernet, So how do I know which profile I'm connected to?

[SOLVED] Bring up ethernet interface without connection

I have two ethernet interfaces in my computer. eth0 connects to the router for the internet, I'm not concerned about that. eth1 I use sometimes to plug a laptop into, and sometimes a MS Windows games PC. Most of the time I don't use it, and there's nothing plugged into it.
I have
NETWORKS=(eth0 eth1)
in rc.conf, and this in /etc/network.d/eth1:
CONNECTION='ethernet'
DESCRIPTION='Internal network'
INTERFACE='eth1'
IP='static'
ADDR='192.168.1.1'
At first boot, there's usually nothing plugged in to eth1, so the 'eth1' profile fails to start:
> sudo netcfg eth1
:: eth1 up [BUSY] > No connection
[FAIL]
> ip addr show eth1
3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN qlen 1000
link/ether 00:1b:ee:00:fe:d6 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
Why won't it start up eth1? I want it to give eth1 the IP of 192.168.1.1, even though there's no cable in it. This causes a problem when, after starting the main PC, I plug in a cable to eth1 and start a device (eg. laptop). I have to plug it in, start up the device (which is set to get a DHCP IP from my computer), manually start up eth1 on the PC, then rerun the connect command from the device.

Automatically start Front Row

I've ditched the AppleTV in favour of a second Mac Mini. Much better. I'm streaming HDTV bitstreams and DVD (MPEG) bitsreams from a USB drive attached to Airport Extreme. (Simple alias creation in the MOVIE folder and additional components installed for Quicktime). No loss of quality through converting to h.264. No waiting around 24 hours to encode. Front Row interface is MUCH better than AppleTV interface.
Two questions which I can't find the answer to: First, is there a way to automatically start front row? I would like the Mac Mini to automatically turn on (easy) and then automatically start the Front Row interface.
Second, is there a way to modify the Front Row menu structure?
All I would like is simply Videos: Movies. I would like ro remove (or hide) Sharing... Trailers... etc.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks.

You can write an AppleScript, that you add to your user's login items, that will open Front Row each time you login. You can find the instructions here to write the script:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2148108
I don't think there's anyway to change the built-in menu structure, though. It's hard-coded into Front Row. You can add folders and sub-folders to your user's Movies folder. Front Row will follow them down into all your video files.

Leave plugged in Ethernet interface disabled (down) [solved]

Is it possible to keep a plugged in Ethernet interface down by default at boot? I have a USB Ethernet adapter I'd like to keep down until needed. Despite not having an IP, it is automatically activated and up at boot up (it is a spanned port).
The ipv6 stack is in the kernel but not used for interfaces, udev renames the device, and nothing is configured for it in NetworkManager (although have tried to manage it this way to avail). dhcp shouldn't be a problem, unless I'm missing something that is pre-configured by default?
The only solution I can think of is to blacklist the module, which would allow me to probe it when needed to bring it up (there is also the physical side of doing this as well). The only drawback is these aren't the most efficient ways to manage an interface.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Ethernet interface problems...

I'm having some problems with a Solaris 8 on x86 server not seeing its ethernet interface between reboots without reconfiguring every time.
About two weeks ago, a backup script on my main file sever spontaneously appeared to crash NIS, and the box was rebooted. When it came back up, it appeared to have forgotten about its ethernet interface, an Intel GigE card at e1000g0. The error message at boot is:
"Protocol wrong type for socket"
... followed by the attempt to move the IP from e1000g0 to any other active interface, which of course failed, since it's the only interface in the box.
I've found that the only way to get the interface up is to boot -rs so it forces a reconfiguration and then drops into single-user mode. Then I can plumb the interface and number it by hand. I can then init 3 and everything is fine. If I don't boot into single user mode, it tries to start NIS, fails, and the box hangs.
If I reboot at this point, the box fails detect the interface again and I have to go through the whole process once more.
I've tried at least one other Intel GigE card, as well as moving them between PCI slots to no avail. I've removed the driver and added it back in, same thing.
Does anyone have any idea what might be the problem? I'm completely stumped.
I'm not sure if it's pertinent, but the when I run my backup script and it crashes NIS, I get the following errors in /var/adm messages.
Aug 10 15:27:10 myserver smbd[23184]: [ID 105279 user.error] nis_cast: t_open: /dev/udp:No such device or address
Aug 10 15:27:10 myserver smbd[23176]: [ID 566193 user.error] n2a get_local_info: ioctl (get interface flags): No such device or address
This is what happened to cause the reboot in the first place, after which the interface failed to show up. I'm not sure if it's important, but I figured I'd include it anyway.
Thanks for any help!
Franklin

I'll check that in just a bit. On the other hand I noticed that by PXE OPROM in the mobo settings the Intel boot agent started from the beginning and not just when rebooting, however, it didn't solve the issue. My new guess is that the issue is not IBA related.
I'm not completely sure if it is an eth0 vs eth1 issue, as loading Xubuntu (which automatically connects to the networks) doesn't solve it. If I reboot it automatically connects to the wired network, if turning on for the first time it shows a "no wired network available" ,and instead offers to connect to the available wireless networks.
I used to have the first firmware (probably dating back to february or march) but updated to a more recent one and yesterday got the most recent firmware available through Asus, but the issue persisted.

Ipv6 and ethernet interface

I started using a router that supports IPv6. The Mac automatically recognizes this and assigns an IPV6 address. The problem is, that once this happens there seems to be no way to disable the ethernet interface. (I wanted to switch to wireless only) I have turned IPV4 'OFF' but there is no "OFF" for the IPV6 configuration. I had to reboot and connect only to IPV4 in order to clear this condition..
Mac OS 10.10.2

You can try disabling IPv6 on the Ethernet interface by using Terminal.app the command would be something like
networksetup -setv6off Ethernet
If you have a different type of Ethernet interface to the built-in one you may need to use a slightly different name, you can check the name by doing
networksetup -listallnetworkservices
Another different approach would be to simply completely disable the Ethernet interface, the equivalent of turning it off. This is done in System Preferences -> Network and then after selecting the Ethernet interface go to the the bottom left corner Cog Wheel (Gear) and select Make Service Inactive. You may need to unlock the padlock first.

Netctl: Using same ethernet interface for PPPoE and LAN

Configuration overview
One ethernet interface connected to a switch which has both the LAN and my ADSL router (running in bridge mode).
My Arch PC should connect via PPPoE (possibly multiple connections) to the ISP and be able to access the LAN simultaniously. (Connection sharing is another goal, but that is not yet relevant...)
The main reason for not changing the setup is that some other people on the LAN use their own ISP accounts over the same line.
I currently have two netctl profiles, adsl (PPPoE) and ethernet (LAN).
I also want the ability to run two PPPoE sessions simultaniously (with routing to determine which data uses which connection). (This is not currently relevant, but have been in the past and might be again in the future...)
The problem:
I'm unable to connect to both the ethernet and ADSL profiles simultaniosly.
I tried to switch to Network manager, but it has a known bug preventing the same interface from being used for both plain LAN and PPPoE.
The workaround that currently seem to work, is to use ifconfig to manually add an IPv4 address to the ethernet interface after connecting the PPPoE session.
The systax for a PPP profile also have the unusual feature that its "Interface" value refers to the underlying interface, rather than the created PPP interface.
I currently have it working on my Ubuntu HDD and previusly had it working on Gentoo.
(Under a standard Windows XP / 7, it works with a single connection, but multiple simultanious PPPoE connections require soem non-standard tools...)
The Ubuntu setup
eth0 is set up by NetworkManager (I didn't have the option to avoid that one...) and I have the PPPoE connections configured in my /etc/interfaces: (ppp0 is not currently in use, was previously)
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface ppp0 inet ppp
pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf
provider dsl-provider-local
auto ppp1
iface ppp1 inet ppp
pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf
provider dsl-provider-intl
I then have these files under /etc/ppp/peers: (with the name mathing the "provider" line) An example below. (passwords are in the /etc/ppp/*-secrets files)
unit 0 # This specifies that the created connection uses ppp0, differs in others.
noipdefault
hide-password
noauth
persist
plugin rp-pppoe.so eth0
user "myuser@radius-domain"
Arch setup:
ADSL profile:
Description='ISPName'
Interface=enp4s0
Connection=pppoe
User='username@radius-server'
Password='mysecret'
ConnectionMode='persist'
#UsePeerDNS=true
# Override default LCP parameters from /etc/ppp/options

Ethernet profile:
Description='A basic static ethernet connection'

Address=('192.168.0.8/24')
Solutions / Workarounds
1. Manually configuring a IP after connecting PPPoE
2. Not using netctl for pppoe, rather using the pppoe-setup tool
3, Figuring out the correct netctl setup for this scenario - which is what I need your help for...
Possibly related links
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=163956
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sh … Connection - Insists that an extra interface is needed for sharing connections - which is not a fundemental Linux requirement

I used to use ubuntu & if you reboot into it (if you can) & run:
$ ifconfig
you will see eth0 & ppp1
ppp1 will be set as the default gateway.
Your issue in Arch is that you currently want the PPPoE interface to be the same as your LAN, this will not work at best you will need to bridge the 2 BUT I think what you should do is use the networkmanager profile as a guide & have netctl create an adsl interface called ppp1 & set that as the default gateway
thus:
Description='ISPName'
Interface=ppp1
Connection=pppoe
User='username@radius-server'
Password='mysecret'
ConnectionMode='persist'
#UsePeerDNS=true
# Override default LCP parameters from /etc/ppp/options
LCPEchoInterval=15
LCPEchoFailure=10
I think this will work, try it & good luck
PS:
I do not use netctl as I use dhcp but you might even be able to configure netctl to set ppp1 as default gateway as a "post-up" command OR just create a systemd service to do it after the relevant netctl services are up

Nexus 5000 - Odd Ethernet interface behavior (link down inactive)

Hi Guys,
This would sound really trivial but it is very odd behavior.
- We have a server connected to a 2, Nexus 5000s (for resiliancy)
- When there is no config on the ethernet interfaces whatsoever, the ethernet interface is UP / UP, there is minimal amount of traffic on the link etc. E.g.
Ethernet1/16 is up
Hardware: 1000/10000 Ethernet, address: 000d.ece7.85d7 (bia 000d.ece7.85d7)
Description: shipley-p1.its RK14/A13
MTU 1500 bytes, BW 10000000 Kbit, DLY 10 usec,
     reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255
Encapsulation ARPA
Port mode is access
full-duplex, 10 Gb/s, media type is 1/10g
Beacon is turned off
Input flow-control is off, output flow-control is off
Rate mode is dedicated
Switchport monitor is off
Last link flapped 00:00:07
Last clearing of "show interface" counters 05:42:32
30 seconds input rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec
30 seconds output rate 96 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec

    0 jumbo packets 0 storm suppression packets
    0 runts 0 giants 0 CRC 0 no buffer

    0 watchdog 0 bad etype drop 0 bad proto drop 0 if down drop
    0 input with dribble 0 input discard

    0 jumbo packets
    0 output errors 0 collision 0 deferred 0 late collision
    0 lost carrier 0 no carrier 0 babble
    0 Tx pause
1 interface resets
- As soon as I configure the link to be an access port, the link goes down, flagging "inactivity" E.g.
sh int e1/16
Ethernet1/16 is down (inactive)
Hardware: 1000/10000 Ethernet, address: 000d.ece7.85d7 (bia 000d.ece7.85d7)

- This behavior is seen on both 5Ks
- I've tried using a different set of ports, changed SFPs, and fibre cabling to no avail
- I can't seem to understand this behavior?! In that, why would configuring the port cause the link to go down?
- If anyone has experience this before, or could shed some light on this behavior, it would be appreciated.

I had identical issue
Two interfaces on two different FEXes were INACTIVE. I have two Nexus 5596 in vPC and A/A FEXes.
I also use config-sync feature.
Very same configuration was applied to other ports on other FEXes and they were working with no problems.
interface Ethernet119/1/1
inherit port-profile PP-Exchange2003
I checked VLAN status associated with this profile and it was active (of course it was, other ports were ok).
I solved it by removing port profile from this port and re-applied it... voila, port changed state to up!
Very very strange.

How to stop - com.apple.launcd: Throttling respawn Will start in 10 seconds ?

I am running OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 on MacBook Pro Late 2013 with Retina display.
I had installed then removed an application KUsrTSK.app (Kaseya). I noticed this week in Console following process repeatedly running:
com.apple.launchd: (com.kaseya.AgentMon) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
I have tried to look for this command in /Library/LaunchAgents and did not find it.
Someone suggested to run following command in Terminal:
launchd remove com.kaseya.AgentMon
but no such process was found.
At a suggestion I have downloaded and run EtreCheck.app and have put the detailed results below hoping that it would be helpful for someone to suggest a course of action.

Reporting Services not automatically starting. System event log 7009, Application event: 18456

For the past month (since Oct 11,2012) reporting services (SSRS 2008R2) is not starting after the server is rebooted. The service is set to automatically start and starts manually without a problem. The system event log contains the following error:
Event ID 7009: A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the SQL Server Reporting Services (MSSQLSERVER) service to connect.
SQL logs :
The SQL logs has many "Event 18456 Login Failed, State 38" errors when the database engine starts. I assume clients conections are failing because the databases aren't online yet. None of these 18456 errors coorespond to the account reporting services
runs under.
The SQL logs indication Event 7009 occures before the "ReportingServer" database is online so im assuming there is a dependancy but I don't know how to avoid this.
This problem is occuring on a number of our servers running SSRS (if not all)
Any ideas?
Paul

Hi A141695,
For Event ID 7009, you can try to do the steps below to resolve it.
    1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
    2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
    3. Right-click Control, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
    4. In the New Value #1 box, type ServicesPipeTimeout, and then press ENTER.
    5. Right-click ServicesPipeTimeout, and then click Modify.
    6. Click Decimal, type the number of milliseconds that you want to wait until the service times out, and then click OK.
For example, to wait 60 seconds before the service times out, type 60000.
Quit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer. For more information about it, please see:
