Solaris 10 on M4000 sparc bge link down cannot ping to other

Hi all,
I setup solaris 10 on sun M4000 sparc server, every thing is good when install complete I cannot ping to Gateway from Solaris 10 OS, but on XSCF console I can ping to gateway

Thanks for quick reply
I've checked already all cables are connected and LEDs light ok, but I don't know whats wrong with M4000 box, Or on XSCF have any command to enables Ethernet cards?

IPV6 clients cannot ping each other while getting IP from DHCP server running in windows 2008

I have two windows 7 clients and a windows 2008 server connected to a switch with static IP 172:16:5::1/64.
DHCP server is configured with static IP 172:16:5::20/64
when i statically assign IP to windows 7 clients like 172:16:5::21 & ::22, they can ping each other. if they get ip from DHCP server, they cannot ping each other.
if i configure the gateway (172:16:5::1) in the clients manually, they can ping each other.
is there any way we can make dhcp server to give gateway to the clients along with IP?

From what I have gathered:
IPv6 won't route because the DHCP server is setup in 'stateless' mode and the switches do not support IPv6. (
"But if your routers are not IPv6 supported (yet), you can
reconfigure DHCPv6 to Disable Stateless mode, and that'll issue IPv6 addresses that
will eliminate the Ping problem." -
http://www.networkworld.com/article/2228461/microsoft-subnet/setting-up-dhcpv6-to-dynamically-issue-ipv6-addresses-in-a-network.html)
So you must change to 'disable stateless' mode. Which the only way I can THINK to do this is to uninstall DHCP and reinstall DHCP and select 'disable stateless' during the installation (which I haven't confirmed). (In
case, “Disable DHCPv6 stateless mode for this server” option was selected duringrole installation" -
http://blogs.technet.com/b/teamdhcp/archive/2009/03/03/dhcpv6-understanding-of-address-configuration-in-automatic-mode-and-installation-of-dhcpv6-server.aspx)
zz.. but my understanding of DHCP is fragmented, please take what I find with a grain of salt. I am off to reinstall DHCP :] .. fun.

WRT610N to TP-LINK SWITCH cannot ping printer on switch

I hope you can tell me what I have done wrong.
dslmodem ---> wrt610N ---->TP-LINK(5port) ---- HP 2600N printer, another to IOmega HD
I cannot see either the printer nor the HD. I cannot ping them.
The cables from the TP to the printer are blue, CAT5 cables. Does blue mean twisted pair?
The HP and IOmega have static IP addresses at 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3 each.
The DHCP settings on the router allocate DHCP from 100-254 to avoid conflicts.
The firewall on the WRT610N is disabled.
Physical limitations permit only one CAT5 cable to the TPLINK box.
If I avoid the box and do this;
dslmodem ---> wrt610N ---->HP 2600N printer
I can ping it from both a Windows 7 and/or XP machine.
However, with the switch in place, I cannot ping it from the router nor any PC's connected to it. The PCs can ping each other.
Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thank you in advance.

The device is a TPLINK TL-SF1005D unmanaged 5 port switch. No visible settings or buttons.
The address handed out on other side of the TPLINK is 169.254.138.233
My network is 192.168.1.*
Hmm. This does not bode well.
Should I set up a routing table entry to talk to this switch?
The wire from the router is hooked to port 1 on the switch. Should it not pick up the right submask, entry from the router?
Thanks for all your help?

Cannot ping to other PCs

Hi,
I have 2 machines at home 1 runs on mac osx and another one on ubuntu. Both machines and my iphone connect wirelessly to bthome hub 2.0
All can access the internet seamlessly but somehow none of them can ping each other.
Somewhere the router is not allowing them to exchange data, which setting on the router can I change to fix that?
Thx
./A

I had the same problem with 2 of my PCs however i was running windows 7.
From experiance this is not a router problem but a computer privacy issue.
What Router / Version Home hub are u running?
are you using DHCP or static IPs.
With windows XP and 7 on the same network and static IP ranges i had to force Netbios over TCP
in the settings to allow each pc to ping and share files.
Unfortunatly i have no experiance with Mac or Ubantu OS's

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

SUNW,hme0: Link Down - cable problem

On several Sparc5's I'm getting the subj: error message. Why? they are configured with 2.5.1 as standalone servers. The connection is with a simple hub which indicates they have connectivity with each other, however, I cannot ping the other machines from the others. What confiuration am I missing???
New to solaris...
gct

Hi
First of all, Sun Sparc 5's are old systems that only have an onboard 10MBPS ethernet port that is called "le". So, either
you are referring to the wrong system or you have an additional
100MBPS card installed in a SS5. The 100MBPS ethernet driver
in Solaris called the "hme" driver.
At the system OK prompt, type the command "watch-net-all".
This should indicate if the physical port is okay or not.
If this fails, you almost certainly have a hardware problem.
Also, some times a Sun system and a hub do not auto negotiate
their speed well. You can check if the Sun system ports are
all right by connecting a cross ethernet cable between 2 Sun system ethernet ports and running the above test.
Also do check the http://sunsolve.sun.com which has lots of
information on similar problems and solutions.

Solaris 8 says: "Link down, Cable Problem?"

I have these on my home LAN:
1. Sun Ultra 5 Solaris 8
2. Win 2000 PC
3. Win NT laptop
They are all hooked into a LinkSys Router.
The Router is hooked into my Motorala Cable Modem.
Here's the problem:
The PC and the laptop can see each other on the LAN.
The Solaris 8 is only visible on the Lan INTERMITTENTLY.
The lights on the Router for the PC and laptop are always ON.
When I reboot the Solaris box, the lights on the Router sometimes come ON, and sometimes they stay OFF. When they stay OFF, I see the message: "Link down, Cable Problem?" during reboot.
I have tried different cables, and tried various combinations of the 4 avalable ports on the back of my Router.
If I plug in the Sun box DIRECTLY into my cable modem, then I don't see the above message. (but then I don't have a LAN anymore)
Please help, I've been struggling with this for a while now.
Thanks,
Irshad Ahmed (I am relatively new to Sun)

Hi
You have not indicated if you have the router ethernet ports working
at 100Mbps or 10Mbps. Depending on this sometimes, Sun systems may
not be correctly auto-negotiating their ethernet port settings.
You may set these parameters to force Sun Ultra 5 to a 100Mbps mode or a 10Mbps mode.
For forcing it to 100Mbps, Full Duplex mode and disabling the auto-negotiation, put these entries in /etc/system:
set hme:hme_adv_autoneg_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_100T4_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_100fdx_cap=1
set hme:hme_adv_100hdx_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_10fdx_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_10hdx_cap=0
Conversely, if you want to force your Sun to work on 10Mbps, Full
duplex mode, (if your router does not support 100Mbps) in the same
/etc/system file, put the following entries :
set hme:hme_adv_autoneg_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_100T4_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_100fdx_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_100hdx_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_10fdx_cap=1
set hme:hme_adv_10hdx_cap=0
One of these should solve your problem. You need to reboot the system
after putting these entries.
You can also check the port at the OK prompt using the command
"watch-net". This test the onboard ethernet interface.
You may also apply the hme patch released by Sun that fixes many
known problems with hme ethernet driver. The patch id is 108981-03.

Hme0: Link Down - cable problem?

i've a problem i've buyed an ultra 10 (used)
i've reinstalled solaris 10 01/06
when it boot the o.s. it give this error message "hme0: Link Down - cable problem?"
and network don't work.
i cannot ping my router but i've gave to my sun an ip of the same netmask (sun ip 192.168.1.88 router ip 192.168.1.1)
i've checked the cable and it's good (it work with a normal pc)
the led on the switch is on (it's green)
maybe i need some patch
how can i do?

gio,
You didn't necesarily do anything wrong.
You do not necessarily have any broken equipment.
There may just be somthing that is incomplete in the setup.
Begin by checking if your network settings were set up correctly by running:
# ifconfig -a
(it's usually best to troubleshoot while you are root user)
If the output from the ifconfig command seem to be complete, you could always think about reconfiguring the NIC all over again.
If you are not sure, then just paste the entire output results back here.
Also, use the forum search function, using keyword sys-unconfig.
Next, read the Solaris man pages for sys-unconfig.
That command will force you to repeat the setup of the connection.

Solaris 10 network status shows 'disconnected' & cannot ping out

Hi,
In my solaris 10 sparc t4-1 server, the network status shows 'disconnected'
I cannot ping to any servers in the lan.
Please help
thanks

Sounds like it's either infrastructure or faulty hardware. Are you sure the port is turned on that you are plugging into?

TTYB Error "Link Down"

There was a sudden close in the terminal connection giving link Down error .
After killing and restarting the tip connetion its giving Link Down error
tip -9600 /dev/ttyb
though the server is up (solaris 9.0 , sun fire v440)
link down
Kindly suggest the possible action to be taken for this .

Hi,
You can try Ctrl + c to stop the process or try Stop + a
to get to the Ok prompt.
I encountered the same error when I installed Solaris 2.6
on a Ultra 10.

Howto Link Down-Cable problem?

Hi,
I am having a Ultra Sparc 5 with a hme interface and a quad card. When the machine boots it checks at boot prom level all 5 interface and reports for all qfe interfaces "Link Down-Cable problem?". All qfe interfaces do not have a ethernet connx but I also do not want to deinstall the quad card. Is there any possibility to turn thoose "interface checks" off.
Thanks Marcus

Never mind I just figured out that thoose checks just run after the boot cdrom command.

Maximum Disk-Volume Capacity Solaris 8 supports (SPARC) ?

Unless you've somehow maintained a service contract on that system,
by specific system serial number,
your best bet is to haunt an online auction site (such as Ebay),
and get a replacement cpu or cpus for shelf stock.
Your current OBP patch level is only down two patch levels,
but your kernel patch level is essentially "never patched".
If it were patched better it may have noticed the issue a lot sooner.
Expect to replace that cpu.

Porting PCI board from Solaris Intel to Sparc

Our own PCI board which has been working on Solaris(8) Intel for years does not seem to be recognized by Solaris(8) for Sparc. At the prom level a show-devs shows the device ie: pci1234,5678 but booting with 'boot -rswv' does not. Two questions:
1. Is the process of scanning hardward and making entries in the /devices directory documented anywhere that I might access?
2. What might be different between Solaris-Intel and Solaris-Sparc when dealing with PCI devices?
The platform for our testing is an AXE-300 3 slot PCI Ultra Sparc.
Thanks in advance
[email protected]
(781)-482-1215

The 'prtconf -pv' command does show the presence of our board
pretty much matching what is displayed when running prtconf on
the Intel system with the exception that the Intel results under the
'compatible:' header shows a series of 32 bit hex values while the
Sparc output for 'compatible:' shows "'pci1234,5678' +
'pciclass,ff0000'".
Furthermore running:
truss -f -a add_drv -v -m '* 0666 root bin' -i '"pci1234,5678"' pixgen
seems to show the point of failure occurring in 'devfsadm -v -i pixgen'
as follows: (note I've cleaned up the output a bit for readability).
open("/devices/pseudo/devinfo@0:devinfo", O_RDONLY) = 5
ioctl(5, 0xDF81, 0xFFBEF8F8) Err#6 ENXIO
close(5)
devfsadm then returns an exit code=11 and reports that the driver
was 'successfully added ... but failed to attach'.
I added a number of trace statements to each entry point in the
driver using the cmn_err function and compiled for Intel and Sparc
and verified that the driver continued to work on Intel and indeed
showed each routine being entered but I never got even one line
of output on the Sparc. That presents a couple of questions.
1. I'm using an old compiler: Sun's CC workshop Compiler 4.2 30
Oct 1996 on both platforms. The Sparc platform is a sun4m (ss-10).
Is it possible that this old compiler is not generating proper code for
the sun4u platform? The compiler and linker switches are:
cc -xstrconst -DKERNEL -DDEBUG -DPIXGENDEBUG=255 -c driver.c
ld -r -m -o pixgen driver.o
pkgadd installs the driver as /usr/kernel/drv/pixgen
2. The driver installation using pkgadd places the following line in
/etc/devlink.tab: 'type=io;minor=pixgen0 pixgen'. Is this
possibly an issue?
Any help/insight would be much appreciated.
Thanks

SGE2010P ring of 4 switches reports one "link down"

Any help appreciated. I called Cisco Support but they didn't have an answer.
We have 4 SGE2010P switches in a ring using ports 24 and 48 to connect. All are same hardware and firmware and the stack is working nicely.
Problem is - System - System Management - Stack Management page of web interface shows one link in the ring down yet it does not appear to be down. If we pull a cable from one of the other links then this "down" link is magically back.
Two questions:
1. Is the switch purposely breaking the chain to avoid a loop condition? If so, does that mean a 1-2-3-4 ring requires switch 1 to go the long path through 2 and 3 to communicate with 4?
2. Even if all is working as a ring and this is just a status reporting error, we have a problem in that one link failure cannot be detected since it shows down even when it isn't. That is bad for remote management and I cannot see any way to determine status of all 4 links shorts of visiting all switches and physically eyeing the ports in question.
Any insights appreciated.
Thanks.
John,

Hi John
With this stack, you haven't had to worry about spanning tree, the stack takes care of making sure that a broadcast storm isn't created by a loop, one of the interfaces becomes inactive. But if you had a real interface failure or a stacking port was to fail, the ring topology would still allow all switches in the stack to still be connected.
Well stacking becomes convenient for a few situations;
reduce the number of infrastructure IP hosts that need managing on your network
Allowing for Link Aggregation from servers to multiple switches in a stack.
You always have the option for;
taking the switches out of stack mode
running Link Aggregation with RSTP as per the rough diagram below;
The better more proactive solution is to use a ONPLUS appliance, which will proactively inform you when there is a problem on your end user network.
ONPLUS is more than just a cloud based service, there are alot of benefits of this appliance in fascilitating a pro-active support for your end user.
We produced p/n ON100-K9 appliance to allow our partners to provide a more proactive professional services enviironment for their customers . Even though my personal network can stand a failure, I utilize a ON100-K9 unit for demonstration purposes .
Because I use my network for experiments and it may change daily, the onplus appliance (p/n ON100-K9) send me quite often emails warning me of changes via the cisco cloud based service. Here is an example below of a warning i receive via email.
For an independent description of ONPLUS appliance and the cloud based service, check out this review from smallnetbuilder

Solaris 8 on Sparc and X86

Will I experience any problems connecting a Trusted Solaris 8 X86 systems to a SPARC Trusted 8 system? Will all the trusted features work between the two.
Thx

I am using Java 5.0 to develop applets, but if I use
all the possibilities that 5.0 version offers (such
as enum) that means that clients viewing my applet
must have JRE 5.0 as well. Does that mean a very
recent browser will be required?no.
I found which browsers support Java 5.0 on the page
J2SE 5.0 "Supported System Configurations" at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/system-configurations.h
tml
In short, what I take from there is that browsers
required would be:
- Mozilla 1.4+
- Internet Explorer 5.5 (SP2+), 6.x on Windows
platforms
- Netscape 4.7.x on Solaris 8 on SPARC and x86
- Netscape 7 and 7.1 are not offically supported, but
should work
I have no idea how recent these versions are and
whether it is acceptable to assume that web visitors
will have these versions. I'd think it is almost safe to assume people have those, they're not that young. the question is rather "do they have the JRE 1.5.0?"

Occasional problem with eth0 link down after booting

Hi,
Every so often after booting up the PC there is not any working network connection. Looking through the output of dmesg, I find "eth0 link down" messages. Not knowing a lot about networking lead me to resort to rebooting to resolve the problem, and rebooting does indeed resolve the problem. Today I discovered the post at [url http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=117728] which suggests similar behaviour.
I played around with ifconfig and initially thought I was seeing the same behaviour, but believe I was mistaken. I can't actually confirm until it happens if my new found knowledge will actually resolve the problem without rebooting.
I'd like to try and track down the source of the problem, and either file a bug report or take some other (configuration) measure, but need help tracing it.
Hardware in question is: Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 01)
and I'm using the testing repository in Arch. Any help appreciated.
Cheers,
James.

I have the exact same problem and I have the exact same ethernet controller/chip.
I've not looked that much why it was doing this. Maybe auto-negotiation fail for I don't know which reason, maybe something else, hard to tell. I might try to investigate this a bit more next time it does me this.
That said, what I'm doing when I'm seeing that my eth0 has no carrier, I'm doing a "ip link set eth0 down", wait a few seconds, and then a "ip link set eth0 up", and then it's usually fine. Since I'm personally using static IP addresses, I also have to re-add the default route after that, i.e. a "ip route add default via 192.168.1.1" to be able to go out of my LAN again. This will be different if you are using DHCP.
