Hi, Everyone.
Just had a resolution to my problem.
It seems the Network at my workplace has some funny switches.
I used an extra switch between work switch and solaris box and it seems to be all working well.
Thanks for all your help
Regards.

Set speed limit to network interface

Hi
I want build a program to set limit speed to my network interface
for example max download speed for wlan connection 10Kb
how must edit network interface for this work
i searched but can't found anything
thanks

Why would you want to do this?
It sounds quite suspicious to me.
Still lost in code, just at a little higher level.
i want save my monthly traffic
That doesn't make much sense. How will limiting the network speed do that?
If you limit the network speed to 20% of what it was then it will just take 5 times longer (more really due to the amount of overhead in data packets) in order to upload or download anything.
If you are on a plan which limits the amount of data via the plans network which can be uploaded and or downloaded during the plans payment time period then perhaps you should monitor the data transceived over the link during that time period.
Then write an app that turns off a NIC and will monitor the NIC so if it is enabled it is turned off again whenever some daily allowance of bandwidth is exceeded. Or perhaps write a service for that. Of course the app or service would need to know the pay
period to monitor, the amount of bandwidth provided for the pay period, constantly store bandwidth used (either sent, received or both) while the NIC is up and be designed to know for each day when to disable the NIC if necessary. And allow the NIC to be re-enabled
or re-enable the NIC when some time occurs following the previous disable of a NIC.
However you don't provide what the requirement would be other than you just want to limit bandwidth via some NIC. Which really means nothing unless multiple PC's are vying for bandwidth and you want on specific PC to be allocated more bandwidth than
any other PC or something.
Group Policy Editor has a setting that can apparently
limit reserveable bandwidth. I don't know if setting that to %95 would only provide applications %5 of the available bandwidth. I've installed GPE on my Win 7 Home Premium PC which it does not come
with and I had to find an installer from an untrusted source in order to do that.
Recently I had a friend using a Verizon WIFI device which provides local WIFI for PC's via Verizons cell service I suppose. Apparently if the PC was left on and nobody was using it then bandwidth was used. I believe in about one 6 hour time period over %15
of the entire pay periods bandwidth allowance was used when his girlfriend let the PC on unattended. So I could see where some type of monitor app would be nice for a situation like that.
When you use few words to describe anything the result is everybody having to guess. And with regard to what you think you want to do it makes the entire thread a guess.

Setting up a second network

I presently have a Time Capsule set up to allow a various electronic devices online. I took the time to set it up so that it is as secure as I can get it. One machine uses the Time Machine feature (actually two but they tend to interfere with one another so I've turned the second machine backup feature off). There is also an old AirPort Express that extends the network. The older TC is a 2nd generation 500 GB model. I just purchased a new 2 TB model.
Questions:
Is the newer model faster? Does the newer model make the network faster or does it just have more space?
Is it better to replace the older model or add the new model to the existing network?
Can the new model handle two or three machines backing up to it without issue?
Is it possible to put an entire iTunes library on the TC and let all devices access the library instead of having it in one account, on one machine, that needs to be on always, so others can access it?
Thank you for your help.

I won't try to answer all your questions, but here are some thoughts: The newest Time Capsule is said to have better/more antennas, which should improve wireless performance. For example, see this Web page.
Is it better to replace the older model or add the new model to the existing network?
I suppose you could do either.
Is it possible to put an entire iTunes library on the TC and let all devices access the library instead of having it in one account, on one machine, that needs to be on always, so others can access it?
As described in item #3 of this post, it's not a good idea to share the internal disk of a Time Capsule with content from Time Machine and other things.

Nss6000 and second network interface

Can anyone tell me how to make the nss6000 NOT be link 1 + 2? I have 2 "non-internet" networks (192.168.1.xx and 192.168.3.xx) that I would like to be able to access shares on.
Is this possible? I don't see anywhere in the config to remove the 1 + 2 setting.
I am running the 1.21.0 firmware.
Thanks!
-John

Thanks for the prompt response.What was the point of even putting the second card in then?
A possible firmware upgrade that never occured?
I can't imagine any reason to have dual NIC's if you can't IP them seperatly.

How do I set up a second home network that bypasses Open DNS?

I have been having trouble downloading and streaming itunes content because I use Open DNS on my network.
There have been many posts about disabling Open DNS to solve the problem but if I do that, my internet filter goes away.
I would rather set up a second network that bypasses Open DNS and use it only for my Apple TV.
Is this possible and if so, how do I do it?
I have airport extreme base station with a second airport to extend the range, mac desktop, mac laptop, ATV, several iphones and ipads.
I'm running OS X 10.7.5.
Thanks in advance!

Are you suggesting that I go into my Airport router settings and just blank out the DNS settings and then reboot it?
Yes, exactly. You can always input those addresses again, if it does not solve the problem.
OpenDNS may offer some advantages over your whatever your ISP uses for DNS but optimizing download speed is not one of them.
Maybe I have jumped to the conclusion that Open DNS is the problem when maybe it isn't.
It is possible. As I understand it, Apple's servers attempt to use a location near you to deliver iTunes content, and OpenDNS may result in pointing it to a less ideal location.
3 hours may or may not be normal for HD movie. The download speed depends on a number of factors that are difficult to surmise without knowing details about your network and your ISP.

+You may have already done this, but do you have the first AirPort Express configured to "Allow this network to be extended"?+
Could not find that setting anywhere.
It's in AirPort Utility, AirPort panel, Wireless tab.
When I'm within the range of the base station I connect normally, but further away the connection drops despite the fact that the other Airport is very close and light is green. Interestingly, my PB Pro has signal almost everywhere in the house, but my iPhone and Mac Mini don't. Most likely just a hardware difference?
In AirPort Utility with the second Express, in the AirPort panel, Wireless tab, have you checked "Allow wireless clients"?
The second AP does show an IP address: 10.0.1.3.
With a "Configure IPv4" setting of "Using DHCP", that suggests that the second Express really is connecting to the first Express. In that case I have no other explanation of your your problem.

Trying to set network interface at 100/full on Solaris 11

Hi all,
I hope someone can help me.
I've built two boxes running Solaris 11 in my lab. Connected to a hub, all seemed well.
Now, I've connected them to the network here and I'm having the following issue, The machines should be connecting to the network at 100Mbps/full. Instead, it seems they are trying to connect at 10Mbps/full, which is causing a problem.
When I check the speed on the NIC (interface=net2), speed is set to 10Mb :
     dladm show-linkprop net2
Returns speed=10.
PROPERTY     PERM     VALUE
speed               r-          10
As you can see from the above, permission is set to read only.
When I try to set the link speed as follow :
     dladm set-linkprop -p speed=100 net2
I get the following error
     'Cannot set link property speed on net2 - operation not supported.'
Which I assume is because of the read-only property/
I have also tried setting the property old-style with ndd :
     /usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/<device-name> adv_100fdx_cap 1
And get 'Operation not supported'.
And finally, I've entered the settings in /etc/system itself (and rebooted) :
    set net2:adv_100fdx_cap=1
All to no avail.
Note the following blog post I've found here indicating someone else had issues with mode/speed in Solaris 11 (unfortunately I'm still stumped!) :
http://blog.thilelli.net/post/2011/02/19/Solaris-11-Express%3A-Problem-6
My networks man is adamant that the network settings are correct, i.e. the network is set to 100Mbps, and looking at his switch settings he seems to be correct.
Does anyone have any ideas as to where I can go from here? Much appreciated....

Despite what your site's network staff have said, this is likely to be their issue.
If you are connecting to a managed switch, that entire peripheral may have specific settings on some or all of its ports.
I suggest you let that switch do whatever it expects to do and remove all customizations to your NIC's configuration.   Let it auto-negotiate.
You should also ignore that link you have in your initial post.   The ERI network interface that is described there was a very specific network chipset and used on a very small specific number of Sun SPARC boxes. It was known to have issues with proper negotiation (it would usually work but sometimes just get mucked up).

Setting network interface IP address

Hello everyone,
Is it possible to change a network interface IP address(eg set my local area connection IP) purely in Java or should JNI be used?
Thanks in advance.

I doubt there is a single, cross-platform way in purely Java, but short of using JNI you could probably use something like Runtime.exec() (assuming your user has proper permissions) and a corresponding command-line utility (like ifconfig on Unix/Linux, ipconfig on Windows).
Edit From a brief look, it looks like ipconfig won't do the equivalent on Windows as ifconfig will do.
Edited by: endasil on 16-Sep-2009 3:37 PM
Edit Looks like the netsh command on Windows does some of those things:
netsh interface ip set address local static 123.123.123.123 255.255.255.0 Source: [Wikipedia: netsh|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsh]

Setting up a second computer to our wireless printer, may I use a different network

I want to set up a second computer on the wireless printer but do not want to use my personal network, but would like to use the guest network. May I do this? And how

Simple answer, no, you cannot do this. Two reasons:
1. The guest network will not, in any way, talk to your personal network.
2. Most guest networks insist on isolating clients from each other on the guest network (unless you know otherwise).

Setting applications to use specific network interfaces

How do I configure my computer such that specific applications will default to a different network interface than all the rest?
I want to set it up so that Adium always tries to use AirPort first and everything else uses ethernet if it's available.
Powerbook G4 1.5 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1GB RAM

You can't (normally) get there from here.
What you're trying to do is affect the routing (route certain traffic through a specific interface). The issue is that routing works at the IP level, not the application level. This means that you can tell the system to route a.b.c.d (e.g. the address of the IM server you're connecting to) through a speciic router at w.x.y.z (e.g. the AirPort).
In order to do this, though, you need to have different IP address/subnet masks on each interface.
For example, assuming your wired ethernet is using 192.168.1.2/255.255.255.0 and your wired ethernet router is at 192.168.1.1, and your AirPort interface is using 10.1.1.2 with the AirPort router at 10.1.1.1 you can run the command:
<pre class=command>sudo route add a.b.c.d 10.1.1.1</pre>
and all traffic for a.b.c.d will go over the AirPort link.
Note that it doesn't matter what protocol you use - any traffic destined for a.b.c.d, whether it's AIM, HTTP, FTP or anything else - or what application you use - Adium, Safari, FireFox, etc. - they'll all use the AirPort link.
Note that this technique will NOT work if you have both interfaces on the machine configured in the same subnet, but this is not a supported configuration, so you shouldn't be doing that anyway.

Setting network interface and ttl for MulticastSocket

Hello
I've tried to set the network interface and the TTL for a MulticastSocket, but it has no effect. For testing I set the TTL to '4' and the network interface to 'lo' (localhost), but everybody in the local area network get my message with TTL=1...
I use Fedora Core 5 (Linux), with no settings in the iptables.
Here is the code I used:
private String networkInterface="lo";
private String address="239.192.0.5";
private int port=54321;
private int mcastTtl=4;
public void send(){
InputStream input=getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("something.xml");
byte[] buffer = new byte[1480];
int length = input.read(buffer,0, 1480);
inetAddress = InetAddress.getByName(address);
nInterface=NetworkInterface.getByName(networkInterface);
MulticastSocket socket = new MulticastSocket(port);
socket.joinGroup(inetAddress);
DatagramPacket packet = new DatagramPacket(buffer, length,
inetAddress, port);
socket.setTimeToLive(mcastTtl);
socket.setNetworkInterface(nInterface);
socket.send(packet);
socket.leaveGroup(inetAddress);
For simplicity I took the Error handling off here, but certainly I have it in my code. No errors, no problems, everybody get the correct message... But not with the settings I made.
Any tips?
Thanks:
Bence

I'm seeing the exact same thing. It's as if setNetworkInterface() doesn't actually do anything at all.
java version "1.5.0_09"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_09-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_09-b03, mixed mode)
OS: Linux kernel 2.6.14.3, CentOS 4.2
Code example (parts removed for clarity) follows. This code works perfectly when I allow it to attach to the default (eth0) interface. When I try to change the interface it binds to, all packets are still multicast to eth0 ONLY! I see nothing on lo or eth1.
Properties props = System.getDefaultProperties();
props.setProperty("java.net.preferIPv4Stack","true");
MulticastSocket mcs = new MulticastSocket(localPort);
mcs.setNetworkInterface(NetworkInterface.getByName("eth1"));
InetAddress group = InetAddress.getByName("230.1.1.1");
String payload = "This is my payload";
DatagramPacket dgram = new DatagramPacket(payload.getBytes(),
payload.length(),
group, groupPort);
mcs.send(dgram);

Setting up a second Airport network

Is it possible to use the ethernet network switch on Airport extreme to plug in another Airport device to create multiple wireless networks, or do I have to have separate cable modems to set up a whole new network?

A few things:
Configure each base station connected to the Ethernet switch as a Bridge, i.e., Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Make sure that you provide sufficient channel separation between each base station to prevent Wi-Fi interference between wireless networks. This is especially important for base stations that are near each other.
If you want all of the wireless networks to have the same Network Name or SSID, then please check out this Apple Support article on setting up a roaming network.

How many Standard Ethernet Network Interface by server ?

Hi
Huh... I'd like to install a RAC configuration with 2 server but i've a doubt.
When i list all network interfaces i've:
Server1
en0 Standard Ethernet Network Interface
et0 IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Network Interface
lo0 Loopback Network Interface
Server2
en0 Standard Ethernet Network Interface
et0 IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Network Interface
lo0 Loopback Network Interface
Is it good or not ? (probably not and documentation says that en0 and en1 must be present in the configuration). OK.
I'm under AIX 5.3 and by Smit i've an option intituled "Add a Virtual IP Address Interface". Is it possible to create the second Interface as a Virtual IP adress here ?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Den

Den,
Basically, you would be needing two separate interface cards for each participating node. The first one to connect to the public network and second for the use an interconnect. Not sure, if et0 is really an network interface, if yes, you should be ok.
VIP is nothing but an un-assigned IP address (in the same subnet as your public IP address) which is expected to be inactive before you install the CRS. This should be listed in your /etc/hosts file and/or dns server (if used). Not sure if adding VIP through the SMIT makes it active, if yes, then you might not want to use SMIT to set up the VIP.

Cannot route to second network

All pc's and servers use PIX as default gateway (10.133.6.10)
We have a second network/IP line and provider (10.1.0.0)that some pc's will need access to.
I've tried setting a static route to this network on the PIX and can ping it from the PIX but not pc's/servers, unless I change default gw (10.133.1.1) on pc's.
PIX config attached

classic problem.
you are pointing the pc's to the pix as their default gateway right? Pix will not route traffic back through an interface from which it receievd the packet.
You might be able to do a couple of things here.
Depending on the software and hw version, you could run dot1q trunk on the pix to cerate a vlan for other network and that may solve the issue or just point the machines to the other default gateway and have that router have a default route pointing to the pix.

Install solaris via jumpstart with 2 network interfaces

Hi guys,
I'm trying to deploy Solaris 10 on a LDOM , using Jumpstart server. The LDOM must have 2 network interfaces and 2 default routes. Here's the relevant part of sysidcfg file:
network_interface=vnet0 {primary
                hostname=aaaaaaaaa
                ip_address=aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa

                protocol_ipv6=no
                default_route=bbb.bbb.bbb.bbb
network_interface=vnet1 {
                hostname=bbbbbbbbbbb
                ip_address=ccc.ccc.ccc.ccc
                netmask=255.255.248.0
                protocol_ipv6=no
                default_route=ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd
}After {ok} boot net - install, I get these messages:

Edited by: kido on Dec 29, 2010 6:10 PM

Hello again,
First of all, if I delete the second default route from sysidcfg, the installation performs uninterrupted, but vnet1 is not brought up after reboot. I get a message like: vnet1 is not a valid interface name...or something similar...
Regarding multiple default routes now... As long as "man defaultrouter" and "man sysidcfg" state that multiple routes are supported, I would expect this to work...or at least I need a way of installing 2 NICs without human intervention...
I will try to use some post install script instead ( will create /etc/hostname.vnet1 and add second route to /etc/defaultrouter) and will let you know the results.
