If you have read this post, then you would have known i have this motherboard and that it has two nic’s. Now during the installation, i just went with the default and that means it is automatically configured via nwam (see this pdf -page 11- or this page, they’re practically the same!). Of course, i can’t have that…
So, here’s howto configure it manually, just the way you like it:
First, see what the status is of – and disable nwam:
pouwiel@behemoth:/etc#svcadm disable nwam pouwiel@behemoth:/etc# svcs -xv nwam svc:/network/physical:nwam (physical network interface autoconfiguration) State: disabled since Mon May 11 22:17:00 2009 Reason: Disabled by an administrator. See: https://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-05 See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1M nwamd See: https://opensolaris.org/os/projects/nwam/ See: https://opensolaris.org/os/projects/nwam/phase0/ Impact: This service is not running.
and enable network
pouwiel@behemoth:/etc#svcadm enable network pouwiel@behemoth:/etc# svcs -xv svc:/network/dns/client:default svc:/network/dns/client:default (DNS resolver) State: online since Mon May 11 22:17:08 2009 See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 3RESOLV resolver See: /var/svc/log/network-dns-client:default.log Impact: None.
Now, you need to assign the ip’s, when you two nic’s you need two files named after your physical devices. In my case: hostname.rge0 and hostname.rge1 and here’s what’s inside:
pouwiel@behemoth:/etc# cat hostname.rge0 192.168.1.101 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast + up pouwiel@behemoth:/etc# cat hostname.rge1 192.168.1.102 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast + up
You want to be able to wander about the internet:
pouwiel@behemoth:/etc# cat defaultrouter 192.168.1.1 pouwiel@behemoth:/etc# cat resolv.conf nameserver 64.71.134.52 nameserver 64.71.134.53 pouwiel@behemoth:/etc# cat nsswitch.conf ... # "hosts:" and "services:" in this file are used only if the # /etc/netconfig file has a "-" for nametoaddr_libs of "inet" transports. passwd: files group: files hosts: dns ...
Now, clear the cache like so:
svcadm restart system/name-service-cache:default
And you’re good to go !
*edit | 20090815@2307* : Well, not quite. Probably I have been working at it for so-o-o-o long, I couldn’t remember what I did.
I do know, you’d have to follow this bit here and just to be on the safe side, alter your ‘llp’ file like they say here. Then it works….
