Weird IP address issue in Solaris 10 6/06

I installed the OS with a particular external IP address but now when I try and change the IP address, the IP address reverts to the one entered during install time after I perform a reboot.
I changed the IP address for the interface using ifconfig. I followed this up by modifying my /etc/hosts, /etc/hostname.hme0, /etc/defaultrouter and I removed the old default gateway and replaced it with one that corresponds to the new IP address.
But on the reboot, it is as if I hadn't made these changes. Is there something in Solaris 10 that is causing this?

You missed /etc/inet/ipnodes
Its new in solaris 10.
You might also need to modify the netmasks.
Also nodename if you changed the hostname as well as the IP.
A usefule resource is the sys-unconfig man page.
Even if you don't use the command, the list of files it modifies is relevant.

WRT600N weird MAC Address issue

I've had the Linksys WRT600N for several months. One day the internet connection stopped working, after I power cycled it, I called support and they had me change the router to clone MAC address after that it worked. If I took off the cloned MAC the internet wouldnt work. So I got curious after that and I restored the router the settings file I had backed up previously. I tried my internet connection and everything worked. No clone MAC address, however, after about a month it stopped again. The issue was making sure clone mac address was on. My question is why does that keep happening there shouldnt be a reason that it would need my computers mac if my isp doesnt need me to do thaa. (ISP = Optimium) Has anyone had this problem or know what the cause is?

You have to tell what you did exactly if it did not work.
Generally: many ISPs (most cable ISPs) only grant you a single public IP address, i.e. a single device connected to their service. Most do this by storing the MAC address of the device connected to the modem. If you connect a different device with a different MAC address into the modem they won't accept it. You won't get an IP address. You don't have internet. Only the device with the MAC address stored (or a modified MAC address set to the stored MAC address) will have internet.
Some ISPs reset the stored MAC address if you call them. With a few ISPs this is the only option.
Most ISPs reset the MAC address after a few hours of inactivity or in fixed intervals.
Some ISPs recognize if you reset the modem and reset the MAC address then.
After it is reset you can connect a different device and it will get the IP address.
Now, if your internet at some point does not work and for a test you connect the computer directly to the modem and you get internet then, at that moment you already have locked in MAC address of the computer and you have to use the MAC address clone on the router.
Thus, if you need the MAC address clone or not depends on what you did when exactly after how much time of inactivity when the internet did not work anymore.

DNS and Static IP Address Question on Solaris v10 X86

I�ve recently installed Solaris v10 X86 and have two questions. The system is a Dell E521 with 4GB RAM and 1GB SysKonnect NIC, and internet is provided via a cable modem, that�s plugged into a Netgear router, and the Solaris 10 box is plugged into the Netgear router via a CAT5 ethernet cable.
1. I can connect to my router login page using the following URL:
http://192.168.1.1/start.htm and I can also connect to various web pages such as yahoo, if I first "ping yahoo.com" (on another machine that�s internet enabled) and then plug the web site�s ip address into the Solaris/Mozilla browser. So it appears that I haven�t been successful at pointing the Solaris x86 at a DNS server to resolve the DNS name.
2. I've purchased a commercially available software package and it requires a static ip address for this Solaris x86 server. If the ip address changes, it�ll stop working by design and require that I reacquire the license file. When connecting through this Netgear router, how do I lock this Solaris v10 x86 server into a specific ip address? (the ip address floats presently when cycling my PC�s on/off) presently, and assume the Solaris box will too, usually through an ip range of 192.168.1.<1 through 5>

pci1148,5021, instance #0 (driver name: skge)
pci1028,1ed
pci1022,1100
The NIC is a SysKonnect 9821 1GB Ethernet card. The drivers in Solaris 10 were apparently very old and didn't install drivers or configure/plumb when I installed Solaris 10, so I downloaded the
latest drivers (hard to find!), followed the instructions and got the NIC drivers installed and then plumbed.
My router's ip address appears to be 192.168.1.1 and in one of the articles I've read, there is a recommendation to create a file (touch) within /etc named defaultrouter and enter the router's ip address. I did this, and the file now contains:
192.168.1.1
I also read where another file called resolv.conf needed to be pointed to a DNS server, which in this case, according to my Netgear router, and according to ipconfig/all on another WinBox on the same network, also shows the same 192.168.1.1 address for the DNS, so I created that file too (wasn't there) and it contains:
nameserver 192.168.1.1
There is a host name file called hostname.skge0 and it contains one line:
INTHOST
There is a hosts file, and it contains:
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost homex86
192.168.1.3 INTHOST
There is a netmasks file, and other than the commented out lines, it appears to contain one relevant line:
192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
There is a nsswitch.conf file and other than the commented out lines, it contains:

There is an nsswitch.dns file:

Finally, I've also seen some advice using the folling command (and I tried it):
"route add default 192.168.1.1" as an alternative method of setting up route table
The only other command I've tried is:
"ifconfig skge0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up" but I suspect that was redundant as the plumb command I used to get the NIC functioning earlier probably already provided what was needed.
Finally, on this small network, I ran an ipconfig/all on a Windows based PC, to see what network settings were reported through the wireless connection, and this is an excerpt of that information:

5>One method is setting the router so that the server's MAC address is tied to a specific IP.
Otherwise you can edit /etc/hostname.<interface> and place a static address there, forgoing DHCP services from the router. You may want the address to appear outside the router's DHCP range.

System Clean Install because of IP address issues

HI,
I just did a clean re-install of Snow Leopard as I had been having the self-assigned IP address issues that so many snow leopard users have been having. Before doing this I used time machine to make a backup of my HD on an external HD and synced my iphone 4 with the computer.
Now I am hoping to get all of my music back, as well as my contacts, but can't seem to access either of those individually on my external HD using time machine or manually.
Also I am worried about plugging in my iPhone to the computer and syncing with iTunes, as if I do, I may lose my lifetime's collection of music altogether. Clearly I should have backed up this music on an extra external HD in addition to the time machine backup, but didn't think to do that.
What are my options? Will it erase the music on my iphone if I sync, or will it pull the music off of it and back into my library? What about Mail and Address book etc?
any help would be appreciated

Normal iTunes syncing with an iPhone is one-way - computer to iPhone. If you try to sync the iPhone without your old library then you will indeed wipe everything off the iPhone. There are numerous utilities around such as Pod To Mac - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - that can be used to transfer from the iPhone/iPod to the computer as well as ones that can mount the iPhone/iPod as a disk drive so you can transfer data between computer and iPhone/iPod. For example, PhoneDisk.

MAC address issue----Spearman

Saw your comments on this in the post about the 1.9 bios for neo2platty ....
I can confirm that My MAC address issue was caused by the bios that you sited in your comments....all F's were written to My nvidia lan too...
only solution from what I have read is too rma it...'bummer'
just thought You would like to know.... Your not alone

I had the same problem yesterday and after many hours searching the web I ended up with this post that made me really desperate... But I didn't give up and while trying a new bios flash because of random crashes when in the bios, I noticed the obvious: you can change the MAC address when flashing
use the last version of the dos flasher with the parameters /nvmac:xxxxxxxxxxxx/wb after the name of the bios file; it's explained if you ask the help with the /help parameter. You can find the mac address on a stick on the parallel port.

LMS 3.1 is Pinging huge number of weird IP addresses?!

Our security group is reporting Ping_sweep events from our LMS 3.1, (windows 2003) system to huge range of internal and public IP subnets, I am unable to locate this IP address range within the LMS application. I am wondering why LMS is actuallying pinging this IP address range? and how can I stop it?
Thanks,
Muhannad

Hi Michel,
This didn't work out, i have added this IP address and still the LMS sending the Ping sweep to this IP address.
I have turned off the DFMserver process and kept the DFMserver1, this stopped the ping sweep to all the weird IP addresses but i am wondering if this will impact the DFM operations or i can use it as a workaround?
Also i read about a DFM patch that should stop the DFM ping sweep and make it work only with the SNMP polling: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_device_fault_manager/faq/dfm_faq.html#wp1023696
Please can you confirm it and advise me about the proper patch to download, your help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Muhannad

Installation Issues on Solaris 10

Hi all,
I've tried several times to install Sun Java Platform Application Suite on Solaris 10, and each time after the installation finished, it shows the same issues. I'll attach the errant installation summary file and the critical part of the install log below.
If someone can point me in the right directiron or tell me where else to look for more details on what might be wrong. I'd appreciate it.

Hi Philippe,
Thanks for your reply.
I installed the whole suite including directory server in a non-defaut install directory. I am wondering if changing install directory will cause issues.

Mail Issue in Solaris 10

Hi,
I wanted to send mails from my solaris box. Below is the step i used
# svcs | grep mail
# svcadm enable smtp
# svcs | grep mail
online 14:24:58 svc:/network/smtp:sendmail
# mail -s "HELLO" [email protected]
Nothing happens after this... i tried with different mail id's and different mail servers but all failed.
can someone help me in troubleshooting this issue?
Regards,
Ashok Kumar.G

Hi Chris & Darren,
Thanks for your updates. Currently i have resolved the issue and i am able to send mail to gmail & yahoo accounts. The issue was with my domain name present in /etc/hosts file and settings in /etc/nsswitch.conf file.
But i am unable to send any mail's to my company's POP3 mail server email accounts.

Weird Enterprise T5220 issue

I'm getting strange results when using the last Gigabit ethernet port (port #3) on my brand new Enterprise 5220. Here is the output from ifconfig -a:
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1

inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0
ether 0:0:6:0:5a:a5
I find it very odd that the MAC address is 0:0:6:0:5a:a5 and not 0:14:4f:ec:bc:1f. I seem to recall earlier that it was reporting a MAC of 0:0:0:0:0:0. Running speed tests through it also gives lower than expected results. The switch and system both show that it's connected 1000 Mbps/full duplex but I only get around 400 Mbps, while I get 600-700 Mbps through the other Ethernet ports.
Wondering if I have a faulty ethernet port.. Has anybody else seen similar behavior?
Thanks!
Jim

I may have to test this on my machine but it may be that the filename that got pass the filter was in uppercase maybe and that's how it sneaked through. Your filter looks for only lowercase filenames that end with ".wmv".
The only thing that is case-insensitive by default is the "mail-from" and "rcpt-to". Almost everything else (subject, message-body, other-headers, filenames) are case sensitive. To make these things case insensitive, you'll want to prepend your filter with this:
Attachment-filename == "(?i)\\.wmv"
or
Attachment-filename == "(?i)\\.(exe|bat|com|sh)"
(?i) --> means ignore the case on whatever follows this regex. You pretty much want to use this in most cases to be safe since match whether it's upper or lowercase. Performance-wise, it should be okay.
By the way, Ironport filters use Python regex.
Again, I'll have to test this on my side.
I have had a weird issue come up with our content filtering today, and am wondering if anyone else has come accross it.
We have a number of Content Filters setup. One of these it looking for various media files including .wmv files (We have used a "Attachment-filename == "\\.wmv"" to look for them).
This works as required. However this morning out outbound Media File content filter trapped a message containing a wmv file going out that had been received by the user the night before.
this message last night was processed by the IronPort, the wmv was not hidden or re-named in any way. It was just not stopped by the content filter.
I have checked everything I can think of and I can see no reason why the message wasn't stopped. WMV's are being stopped OK as I type this.
Has anyone else come accross or noticed this.
This is on a C650 Appliance running 5.5.1

Plant/Location Address issue in SRM

Hi All,
We are on SRM 5.O R/3 4.6C , Extended Classic scenario
We are dealing with a weird issue at this time. The issue is, in the Plant address country is being changed by an unknown program.
I looked at the plants address in R/3 , it is not changed there. And we dont run any batch job for updating plant details between SRM and R/3. All we have are standard SRM jobs set up as the background jobs (Clean req, getstatus 2 vendor update).
Has anyone ran in to weird issue like this? Can someone please give me pointers? let me know what should I be doing in fixing this weird issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Krishnav,
If i understand correctly, you think location address was changed in SRM and not in R/3 ?
Check CHUSR, CHDAT and CHTIM fields in BUT000 table: they will give you user ID who made last modifications and when.
Those address modifications should have been done directly is SRM (using Web GUI) or running BBP_GET_LOCATION_XX reports.
Regards.
Laurent.

Weird CSS forwarding Issue

Hi all.
I am having some weird forwarding issue using a pair of 11503 CSS (Box-to-box redundancy).
Here is my L3 network topology:
Internet
|
| CP FW-1 |
|
|
|6500-Sup720|
|
|
| CSS 11503 |
|
|
|
Client
I have drawn only one device because redundancy is achieved via HSRP on 6500, Active/Standby on CSS.
Moreover, L2 connectivity is provided by 2 4507 (CSS are connected 1 x 4500 on different vlans), connected to the 6500 via gigabit fiber connections.
A LDAP server is located on the internet and when the client tries to issue an LDAP query, it could take up to 2 minutes to have the reply back (20 seconds in the best cases). If I move the L3 on the 4500 or the 6500, the request takes form 1 to 2 seconds to complete.
We have tried both CSS, both 4500, both 6500, different clients with the same results. We upgraded the WebNS to the latest release (7.50.004). We changed physical cables, physical ports on CSS and switches, moved clients on other vlans on CSS, 4500 and 6500 and the results are always the same.
Neither errors on CSS interfaces, nor on 4500 interfaces, nor on 6500 interfaces.
I captured traffic via snoop on the Sun Client, and also with monitoring session on catalyst 4500, and when the CSS is routing, I can see lots of duplicate acks, tcp out of sequence, retransmissions which disappear when routing is performed by 6500 or 4500.
I was wondering if there is anything connected to the L3 1500 bytes size of every frames (the query produces an output of about 600k). We are at the L3 MTU limit... We also tried with ftp, but in that case everything was fine also with CSS. It looks like there something ldap related at least. The ldap query is a normal query, tcp port 389. The command come and go very well, the actual data transfer produces all the crappy tcp output (retransmission, lost segments ecc...).
I am very confused, CSS is not balancing, it's only forwarding traffic.
Sorry for my long post, any help will be really appreciated!
Regards
Massimo Magnani.

From your statements i understand that you want to know how to load balance using CSS. Content rules are where the CSS's load balancing features are customized, virtual IP address are defined, and where the actual servers (called services) are bound to that virtual IP address. Content rules allow you to specify load balancing types, sticky methods, port specific Virtual IP addresses, and a host of other features Refer to the following URL to understand how CSS load balancing works and how CSS load balancing can be configured.

Spanning Tree and Admin mac address issues srw2048

Ok, I have a somewhat complex problem and hopefully someone may shed some light or have an idea as to whats wrong.
First the scenario:
I have two Cisco Cat 6509's etherchanneled to each other via two fiber cables. One of these is the STP/RSTP root. I have two SRW2048's.. one trunked to each of these 6509 switches. There is also a trunk between the SRW2048's. All this is to create a redundant topology so that if one of the switches fail's the others can still forward packets to each other. Of course the scenario described is in fact a loop that should be handled by STP/RSTP. I have RSTP enabled on all the switches in the scenario (PV RSTP on the cisco switches as they only do Cisco's brand of per vlan spanning tree). There are 3 vlan's configured on each of the srw2048's (2,55,96). There are corresponding vlan's also on the 6509's. I have put the srw2048's management interface into vlan 2.
The problem:
I need to forward packets between the srw2048's primarily and only use the 6509 that is not the root when a failure happens. I have configured the non-root 6509's spanning tree cost on the etherchannel to be higher then the alternate path through the srw's to the root. I can hook everything up and view the spanning tree and see that the srw2048's interface that goes to the non-root 6509 is blocked, and all other interfaces on the other switches are forwarding. I can in fact ping and get to the admin interface on all the switches. Then for some strange reason the admin interface of the srw2048 plugged into the non-root 6509 stops responding. If I disable either the interface its plugged into on the 6509 or the other srw2048 everything starts working again. Sometimes it responds after many failures for no apparent reason. I looked into the mac-address table on the 6509's and they are conflicting, pointing to each other for the mac-address of the broken srw2048. When I clear the mac-table the admin port comes back for about 5 seconds then again goes dark. When reviewing mac-table on the 6509's they are back to pointing to each other. The odd thing (although I haven't confirmed this completely) is that hosts placed into vlan 2 on that same srw2048 seem to work fine. If there was an STP loop or something misconfigured, I would expect it to effect any host in vlan 2 or the other vlan's for that matter on the srw2048 that stops responding. Alas, I am stuck because I need to manage this switch remotely. My only thought is that for some reason even when the STP status is blocked the broken srw2048 is still sending out arp's of its admin interface and bypassing the STP protocol. I have no way to confirm this, but maybe someone has an idea as to what I'm doing wrong, or otherwise offer a solution. For now, I simply removed vlan 2 from the 6509 that the broken srw2048 is plugged into and everything seems fine.
My apologies for such a long post, but this is somewhat complicated. Thanks in advance for any info.
-Geoff

To follow up, I had a ticket open with Linksys about this for about 3 months with no resolution. I submitted packet captures, stp outputs, etc and no luck. I gave up and basically had to revert to a manual failover for redundancy. It's no perfect or fast, but it works every time.
Unless linksys issues a firmware upgrade with this as a fix, I doubt we will be able to ever resolve this on our own.

Multiple IP Address Issues

This has been driving me crazy for a while now. Mainly because I solved this once for myself earlier this year! I cannot find the solution again and I need help. Two Snow Leopard clients I have, (10.6.6) are returning three IP addresses in DNS. One for each is their correct static IP, the other two are odd.
For example (not actual IPs):
PowerMac1.domain.com is returning 192.168.1.38 (correct), 192.168.242.1, 192.168.138.1
iMac1.domain.com is returning 192.168.2.13 (correct), 172.168.28.1, 172.168.16.1
This happens with Windows nslookup or Apple's dig, of course.
Like I said, I managed to fix this on another system (running Snow Leopard server) a while back. I believe it was an SMB issue? Don't really remember.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Time Capsule Airport Extreme Airport Express - IP Address Issues, Internet dropping...

I have a brand new Time Capsule 3TB functioning as my main wireless router from a Motorola SB6141 Cable Internet Modem. I have a Airport Extreme and Airport Express extending the network from my Time Capsule 3TB. After the intial setup there were no connection issues for several days. However, yesterday I began to experience issues where the Time Capsule starting telling me that other devices on the network were trying to assign IP Addresses to change from DHCPand NAT to Bridge Mode. What is the best solution for this? My temporary solution is just to do a hard reset of the SB6141 which seems to alleviate the issue until the next day. Please help!

There is definitely some issues with the SB6141 modem and the new AC version Extreme and TC.
I have recommended to several people to use a crossover cable or a small 10/100 switch.
Either is a very cheap item and I cannot promise a solution but it has helped.
Net time it happens please login with airport utility and take a few screenshots of the TC summary page and internet tab and post them here.
