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.

Configuring Network in Solari 10

I installed Solaris 10 06/06. While installation I didnot configure the network. Now I want to connect the system to the network. Can anybody suggest how to configure the network. The nic is not getting detected. How to know whether the required driver for detection of nic is present. Can someone guide me on this or point to some link.
thanks & regads,
rathi

One of the main features of these forums is to teach. Would you run sys-unconfig on a production multi-homed system? Do you also know that it removes the root password as well as NFS entries in vfstab? This command is at best one to avoid for anyone who supports a production environment or plans to. See the man page - you will find it does more that you might expect. Not documented, it also regenerates new system ssh RSA/DSA pub/pri keys, not a good idea in a monitored secure environment ... say a financial institution?
Oh and take a look at these ones:

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
Pran

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.

Some steps for configuring Network are skipped in installation Solaris 10

Hi everybody !!!
I'm a newbie in Solaris 10. I had some problems in installation Solaris 10:
I downloaded installation packet for x64/x86 (DVD) on site Sun.I want to install Solaris 10 on my PC AMD 2500+.I connect to internet through a LAN.
1)In process installation, some steps for configuring Network ( from 5 to 15 in Solaris 10 installation guide) were skipped automatically. It has been directly moved to 16-th step(setup Time and region). Then i tried to finish installing it. But in working with it, i recognized that Network card had been not found( i use NVIDIA nForce MCP Networking Adapter). I typed some command in console shell :
$netstat -in
loo...........
and received only one row like above.
i have tried some times , but not succeeded
2)Port USB is also not working
Please help me. Thanks a lot !!!

hi Vantuan,
guess I just posted reply to your other post...
also check Sun hardware compatibility list for your network card here:

Smf / sometimes does not configure network interfaces in single-user mode?

From http://groups.yahoo.com/group/solarisx86/message/14785
When booting into single user mode, I often get a message
on the console
t_optmgmt: System error: Cannot assign requested addressand only the loopback interface is configured (lo0 inet, and lo0 inet6).
The system's dnet0 interface is not plumbed any more. Configuration
for the dnet0 network interface is via a static ip address; hostname
in /etc/hostname.dnet0, and and ip v4 address for that hostname in
/etc/hosts. This was a Solaris 10 x86 system, but the same problem
has also been observed on Solaris 10 sparc, and the hme0
interface.
svcs -x in single-user mode reports no problems.
Changing to multi-user mode by typing Ctrl-D still does not
configure the real network interface.
One thing that I've noticed is that smf's log file
/etc/svc/volatile/network-physical:default.log
is missing, when the nic interface was not configured.
It seems that the problem with unconfigured network interfaces
does not happen when I boot directly into multi-user mode.
Why isn't the physical interface plumbed and configured when
booting into single user mode on S10 b69?

still domain name has't been set, i just wrote this, can anyone tell me how to find the domain name or create one. also the name server is just a fake, but how to find one. If i will be connecting my laptop to various IP whereever i go, so do i need to configure network setting again and again ? isn't there any auto network configuration so that i can connect internet where ever i go and let the system auto configure network settings like in windows XP auto IP configuration detect.
7. etc/nsswitch.conf
in this i can't see "hosts: files" but i could see rest of the details. so I inserted "hosts: files dns" in the third line and saved.
I ran the following command in the terminal to find the details:
#ypmatch host-name hosts
ypmatch: the domainname hasn't been set on this machine
(how to set domain name can anyone tell me?)
#move/etc/netmasks: not found
#uname -n
HOME
#cat/etc/nsswitch.conf
cat/etc/nsswitch.conf: not found
#domain name
domain: not found
#ypwhich
ypwhich: the domainname has'nt been set to this machine
#nismatch nameserver-name hosts.org-dir
hosts.org-dir: Error in accessing NIS+ cold file.......is NIS+ installed?
actually during installation i selected DNS type for network giving a wrong nameserver and domain got skipped later
#getent ipnodes dns (no response)
so all these things i did and found by seeing the forum guidelines. I can see the network connection has receivinh and sent packets seems to be working but can't browse internet, also can't ping a website.
if anyone had the same problem but found the answer than kindly let me know. I am new to solaris but i am trying my best.
awaiting reply from gurus

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?

JET install: ERROR: Unable to configure network interface Exiting to shell

Using SUNWjet v4.4.4 I'm trying to build a server using update 5 x86 which seems
to work with one notable exception. The JET server and the build server do not
reside on the same subnet. In order to get around not being able use PXE boot
to boot the build server I'm booting from DVD after making the following modifications
to the grub menu entry:
kernel /I86PC.Solaris_10-1/multiboot kernel/unix - install nowin -B
install_config=x.x.x.x:/opt/SUNWjet,
sysid_config=x.x.x.x:/opt/SUNWjet/Clients/testclient,
install_media=x.x.x.x:/export/install/media/s10u5-x86,
install_boot=x.x.x.x:/export/install/media/s10u5-x86/boot
This seems to kick off the installer however it fails to bring up the network interface:
SunOS release

It seems that I'm forced to bring up the interface manually each time.

I've also tried setting the following:
base_config_sysidcfg_network_interface=PRIMARY
vs
base_config_sysidcfg_network_interface=bge0
I don't mind doing this manually but of course I would much rather have it work automatically.

Try giving more network interface settings in the sysidcfg settings:
network_interface=value {primary hostname=host_name
                          default_route=ip_address or NONE
                          ip_address=ip_address

How to configure network virtualization in SCVMM 2012 R2 with two host

hi everyone... can you teach me how i configure networking in my infrastructure..
i am getting confuse that i have 2 phisical server, i don't know to set the netwokring in scvmm. Every best practice, i found in internet is using more than 2 physical server.
i have been tried before with the networking which i want..but it failed...
any one help me please...

This whitepaper should explain the required steps to get this working.
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Hybrid-Cloud-with-NVGRE-aa6e1e9a
The whitepaper will use more than two hyper-v hosts, but you'll get the picture.
You can have 1 host to run your NVGRE VMs, while the other host should be dedicated to run the virtualization gateway VMs.

Hold on... advice to someone downloading from 1337x !!!
Until I saw your comment and googled the term, I had no idea that this was a "downloaded" file. I assumed the "1337x" reference was to dimensions/resolution and Noir referred to genre. (I.e., I use similar notations the differentiate files compressed for TV playback comparisons.) In any case, the advice is the same irrespective of the source.
er, isn't it illegal to download movies ?
Not necessarily. Thousands of movies are probably downloaded daily as legal purchases from such vendors as iTunes. Thousands more are available for free in the public domain, open source/community videos listings, and under Creative Commons Licensing. In short, there are many legal sources of downloadable content and you should not automatically jump to the conclusion that everyone is a crook.

Install and configuring SAMBA in Solaris 8.0

Hi
Can any one help tme to install and configure SAMBA on solaris 8.0
Thanks in advance

We don't provide sudo for Solaris 8, but you can try with the package available there : http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/download.html#binary
They don't provide a specific package for Solaris 8 but may be will the binary working correctly in your zone.
An other package, and is builded for Solaris 8, is available on www.sunfreeware.com website.
Regarding the configuration, the method can differ depending on which version you will use. You can find a lot of examples on Internet if you want for details.
