Disabling Multicast in Solaris 10

Hi,
I have been searching the internet all morning trying to figure out how to disable solaris 10 multicast. I have no need for it. The best information I could find was to modify the script /lib/svc/method/net-svc and comment out the adding of a route point for multicast near the end of the script.
I thought that hand modifying the methods of SMF was a big no no in solaris 10. Is there a better way to disable multicast?
For instance, if I do an ifconfig -a I see that all of my intefaces have the MULTICAST flag set. Is there a way in ifconfig to disable that flag?
I have seen people put ifconfig options into their /etc/hostname.interface file. I think if I can find the correct ficonfig option I can disable the multicast flag during system boot and that should disable multicast.
Any comments/suggestions would be welcome.
Eric

Now that I have done more research I guess I do not have to turn off the multicasting.
This problem appeared because during snoop sessions I see MANY of the following messages:
? -> (multicast) ETHER Type = 022C ... 53 bytes
I assumed that one of my machines was doing the multicast. However, I shut down all but one machine and then I removed the multicast route from the route table and the messages still appear. I think that either my cisco switch or cisco router is doing the multicast.
So I guess I will not turn off the multicast on the machines.
Does it make sense that the router and/or switch is sending out the multicasts?

Disable IPv6 in Solaris 11

I work for a regulated bank in the UK and we do not use IPv6. IPv6 is disabled on all our switches.
Despite this control we have previously been told by external auditors that we must also disable IPv6 on our servers. No problem in Solaris 10 and lower.
Can anyone tell me a simple way to do this in Solaris 11? there doesn't seem to be a way to only plumb IPv4 interfaces.
I found an unreliable source on the internet telling me to hack the file /etc/ipadm/ipadm.conf but this means I need to reboot after plumbing interfaces, something that we haven't had to do for how many years? There must be a sensible way to do this...???

Do not under any circumstances unless directed by Oracle Support as part of fixing a bug modify the ipadm.conf file directly.
You can't disable IPv6 in Solaris 10 either, what you can do is not have any IPv6 addresses active on plumbed interfaces.
You can do the same in Solaris 11. However you can't disable the IPv6 loopback address on Solaris 11 if you have zones
and want to be able to do 'pkg update' using system repostitory from inside the zone.
To remove the IPv6 address on net0 do something like this:
# ipadm delete-addr net0/v6addr

Disable ipv6 in solaris 11 express (2010.11)

Is there a way to disable ipv6 in Solaris 11 Express?
I can unlplumb inet6 interfaces but it created again after reboot.
# ifconfig v1 inet6 unplumb
# ifconfig lo0 inet6 unplumb
# ipadm show-if
IFNAME STATE CURRENT PERSISTENT
lo0 ok -m-v------4- ---
v1 ok bm--------4- -46
Is there a way to get that change persistent?
And what is there right way to get rid of ndpd daemon?
Whenever I disable svc:/network/routing/ndp:default it gets back online by 'routeadm -u' after reboot.

I know how to create addresses. I have no problem with ip4.
Addresses created and persistent across reboot.
The only problem that there is also bunch of ipv6 interfaces brought up at reboot and NDP daemon.
For now I found workaround:
1. make lo0 controlled by ipadm:
# ipadm delete-if lo0
# ipadm create-if lo0
# ipadm create-addr -T static -a 127.0.0.1/8 lo0/v4
2. Remove lines with "_family=26" from /etc/ipadm/ipadm.conf
3. reboot.
That's all I wanted.
# ipadm show-if
IFNAME STATE CURRENT PERSISTENT
lo0 ok -m-v------4- -4-
v1 ok bm--------4- -4-
# routeadm -u
# routeadm | grep ndp
disabled svc:/network/routing/ndp:default
If anyone know how to do the same without editing ipadm.conf please tell.

Disabling User in Solaris

Is there anyway to change the way the resource adapter for Solaris and Linux disables users so that it uses the native lock provided through passwd rather than setting a random password?

Is there anyway to change the way the resource
adapter for Solaris and Linux disables users so that
it uses the native lock provided through passwd
rather than setting a random password?No there is no way to do that.
The usage of passwd -d and or -l is limited to certain installations. If you read the man page for passwd you will see that it only works for files as the repository not for any of the other possibilities (NIS or NIS+ or ldap). It also depends on PAM modules to implement this and they do not have to be configured on the system.

How to correctly disable nlockmgr (lockd tcp/udp 4045) service under Solaris 8 (patched through the latest patch cluster)
Thanks

Hi
From much personal experence I can assure you that if you have a Solaris 8 server
and it meets the hardware requirements specified by Oracle (i.e. RAM, CPU, DISK)
Then you dont need to patch the O/S. Oracle 8.1.7 will install.
However I strongly recommend that you patch the Oracle installation to 8.1.7.4
afterwards.
If I can be of any help please feel free to mail me at the address below. I'll try and keep an eye on this track though.

Disable Multicast MAC Addr restricted in Catalyst 3750 and C3560G

Hi All,
I'm using Cisco 3750 Catalyst and C3560G, recent days ago i purchased a pair of WatchGuard Firewalls and put in the system to run HA Active/Active model.
The requirement to run WatchGuard Firewall HA A/A model is to allow ARP request if the response contains a multicast MAC Address in Routers and Switches.
I read somewhere that Routers and layer 3 switches, the default behavior is to follow RFC 1812, which says that the routers must not believe any ARP reply that claims that the link later address of another host or router is a broadcast or multicast address.
Can you pl show me the command to Allow all Multicast MAC Address for interfaces? Or disable RFC 1812 in order to get WatchGuard Firewall works properly.
Here is the information from WatchGuard firewall: "When you configure WatchGuard FireCluster in an active/active configuration, the cluster uses multicast MAC addresses for all interfaces that send network traffic. Before you enable FireCluster, make sure your network switches, routers, and other devices are configured to route network traffic with multicast MAC addresses.
Pl help. Thanks.

My experience on 3750 has been generally only a reload will clear the detailed MLS QoS stats.
However, I thought could could clear the interface stats, although, if not, might be a bug in your IOS version (you didn't note actual 3750 model or specific IOS version being used).
Lastly, the interface stats don't clear at all? Reason I ask, disabling QoS doesn't preclude you still getting drops.

Disable multicast dns in Mavericks?

Hi,
I am wondering if there is any change on the way to disable mDNS / Bonjour discovery protocol on Mavericks compare to the old Max OS system?
In fact sometimes I need to not multicast some information on some network but it seems that in the past it required to play with the entire DNS process which affect normal DNS request.
Many thanks,
Ben

Hi brycesteiner,
If the alias you are using to connect to the network volume is using SMB, you may want to replace that alias with one that uses AFP. To do this, use the “Connect to Server” as you say, using AFP. Once the network volume is in place, create an alias of it, using the steps in this article -
OS X Mavericks: Create and use aliases

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Bug in multicast code solaris 9 (and 10?)

Hi,
I am working with a client who needs to use
lots (80-100) of multicast addresses.
We are using bge/gld. Here is the problem:
The setsockopt call with the IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP
argument succeeds even though bge/gld
only has room for 64 multicast addresses.
If I use setsockopt to add 80 group memberships
on different multicast addresses, netstat -g
shows all 80. Sending/selecting any of
the sockets above the 64th has no result.
(Packets are dropped because gld
has failed the group membership add). I found a way to make it work using:
multisize = 100;
in /platform/sun4u/kernel/drv/bge.conf
This allows up to 100 different mcast addresses.
(But this is not documented anywhere as far as
I can tell.)
However, I think the error primitive that gld
sends up when you run out of free mcast entries
should be propagated all the way up to the setsockopt caller. Interesting that the multicast
loopback has no trouble with sockets after 64 (because IP doesn't record the error from gld???).
At any rate, if you need a test, let me know and I'll send it. Hopefully, someone who is working on the
kernel can take a look. I've spent some time and it
looks like the DL_TOOMANY error primitive that gld
sends up from gld_enable_multi() is being dropped
on the floor.

In snmpd.conf file add these entries.
rocommunity public
syslocation "System administrators office"
syscontact "System administrator"
sysservices 72
And then start snmpd .Then to do a snmpwalk juz use
~#snmpwalk -c public -v 1 localhost
Assuming that you have compile and configure with SNMP v1 support

Does MulticastSocket API start the multicast if it is disabled in Linux

Basically I am running a application which uses multicast in Linux environment.I am using MulticastSocket API to invoke my multicast.
Now SLES10 SP2 if I disable multicast using ifconfig eth0 -multicast also when call "MulticastSocket " API it is appearing to be starting the multicast.
Can any one confirm will MulticastSocket API start the multicast if it is not enabled.

Is there a way to disable interrupts for a Solaris 9/ sun OS 5.9 machine

I am trying to figure out if there is a way to disable interrupts in solaris 9 on a sun 5.9 sparc9 machine, while under lock. I don't want the process to get bumped under lock. I have been looking for a way to do it and have come up empty handed. Am I just missing something? -Thanks

Thanks for the response, I understand that using real time scheduling I can still be preempted. I also understand how to solve my problem on a multiple CPU machine. Unfortunately I only have that luxery on part of the system. There is a part of the system, 7% of the processes, that run on a single cpu machine. This is a customer requirement, I can't change it. What I want to do is possibly take advantage of the priority inheritance features of the mutex locks, however, I believe this needs to be enacted as root, since they need to run real time and it seems that you need to be root to enable the real time features. However, to propose this as an option to solve my issue, I need to show that it works. I have kicked off a process using priocntl with RT and a priority of 11, and I can see them run as real time and in a priority level of 111 using TOP, but when I put code in so I know they are in the mutex portion of the code, I don't see a priority change. I created a mutex with the protect option and a priority ceiling of 5. Does anyone know if this would be reflected anywhere. I tried opening an xterm and using a priocntl -d, but I see priority 11 even when it is in a mutex with a ceiling of 5. I would have expected it to go to five. Just in case I had the levels backwards, I also tried a ceiling of twenty and there still was no change. How can I test the priority inheritance capability? Does anyone know which call would reflect the priority change? I just need to show it does something in order to propose the change at that low of a level in our system code. Thanks again everyone who has tried to help me understand this.

Clustering Solaris 10 (SPARC) with QFS 4.3

I have searched to no avail for a solution to my error. The error is bolded and Italics in the information below. I would appreciate any assists!!
System

WLC - AP Groups - Multicast - Bonjour - Apple TVv3

Good Morning
first off - Should start off by saying I have followed the Apple Bonjour deployment guide [except for interface group] portion
I have searched high and low, here and there to no avail.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps4570/products_tech_note09186a0080bb1d7c.shtml
I am aware that the bonjour gateway IOS may or may not come out in Oct/Nov 2012, which maybe my only option at this point.
Is this not working because of my AP groups setup or have I misssed something
I can only get bonjour to work if multicast - unicast mode is selected, but our network slowly grinds to a halt, so it is not an option
when I first connect to the wireless I see 1 bonjour device for about 3 minutes and then disappears.
I can not see the appletv at all with an ipad, airplay does not appear at all.
We have the following setup.
2 campuses - Campus 2 is simular setup, but WLCs higher model and ios 7.2 and clients and subnets are double
Campus 1

2 devices - added Imac to see if I could home share through Itunes.
end result
no bonjour clients, no apple tv, no airplay
Bonjour Gateway device - although same subnet it shouldn't be needed

Should Bonjour work same subnet with these settings?
I am going to have read more about the Interface groups and the Multicast vlan.

Solaris 8 x86 on an IBM PC Server 320

I have an IBM PC Server 320 that I have spent days trying to install Solaris 8 04/01 on. I keep getting pboot: cdrom error 01 and Random reboots during the installation using the install CD or Software CD 1. I reviewed the Solaris HCL list and all the components installed meet the requirements.
Here is my configuration info:
IBM PC Server with Intel P200 MMX overdrive
96mb ECC Memory
Matrox Mystique Video Card PCI 4mb (Top PCI Slot closet to Power Supply)
Adaptec 2940W bios v1.19S8 (2nd PCI Slot
Plextor 12/20 Tsi
2 IBM 2.25 gig DCAS-34160
3c509 ISA NIC (2nd EISA slot from bottom of the Case)
BIOS Info from Adaptec Card
Advanced Options:
Reverse Scan Disable
DOS drive >1 disabled
DOS 2 drives 5.0 or higher >disabled
Boot CDROM disabled
Software Info:
Solaris 8 04/01 binaries on 80 minute CD?s
I don't know what it could be, I'm starting to think it may be the adapter or the 80 minute Cd's I burned the images on. Any info would greatly be appreciated.

Solaris 10 update 6 keeps generating core file (/core)

I wonder if somebody has encountered the following issue.
I did a fresh install of Solaris 10 update 6 on two servers (T5140 and T524) from DVD.
I noticed that a core file was in the root filesystem (/core).
So, I deleted it.
As soon as I delete the core file, another one is generated.
This is happening on both servers where I installed Solaris 10 update 6 from the DVD.
This is not a live update install. Solaris was installed from scratch. When prompted to preserve previous data, I replied with 'do not preserve data'
Does anybody know where the core file is coming from and how to stop it being generated?
Found out that is coming from vold

#It seems that vold is failing to mount the DVD on both servers after Solaris was installed.
Is this a Solaris 10 update 6 bug?
Edited by: shen on Jan 29, 2009 8:45 PM

Never mind.
It is a known bug documented on manual " [Solaris 10 10/08 Release Notes, Chapter 2 Solaris Runtime Issues|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-5245/chapter2-1000?a=view] " as shown below.
The solution is to apply vold patch [138130-01|http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-138130-01-1].
Solaris 10 10/08 DVD Media Might Not be Automatically Mounted by vold (6712352)
The Solaris 10 10/08 DVD does not mount by default during runtime. No error message is displayed.
Workaround: Perform the following steps:
   1. Become superuser.
   2. Disable vold:
      * On Solaris 10 Systems:
            # svcadm disable -t volfs
      * On Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 systems:
            /etc/init.d/volmgt stop
   3. Mount the media manually by using the # mount -F hsfs path to block device path to mount point command. For example:
      # mount -F hsfs /dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s2 /mnt
