Hi,

Can any one tell me how i can check the list of different network cards available
on my sun machine?

How i should configure the second network card with a public IP?

Please give your valuable advice.

In solaris, u can find out all the installed network interface by the command

ifconfig -a

it will show u ip address and hardware address of all installed network cards.
With some switches u can install public ip.
For switches take help.

Thanks

Hi,

I have issued the command ifconfig -a
but my server is showing only one network card,eri0.

I was told by hardware vendor we have two netwok cards.
The second one is hme0.

But can you please tell me by which command i can see all the network cards present in my computer?

ifconfig -a is showing only the configured network cards.

regards,
Venkat Yalla.

Hi.

You must create a "hostname.hme0" file in the /etc directory, which contains the ip address, after make a plumb to the interface and finally execute:

#ifconfig hme0 "ip" netmask "netmask" up

Execute the ifconfig -a command and you will see the interface hme0 in the output.

I hope it helps.

I ran the command prtdiag -v | grep hme

I got the output as follows:

I/O PCI 8 A 1 33 66 1,1 ok SUNW,hme-pc1108e,1001 SUNW,qs1-cheerio

Can you please tell what does this mean.

Now what i should do to configure my second IP.

Thanks for your response,

We have soalris 5.8 OS.

We have sunfire 280R machines with A1000 raid boxes.

I ran the command prtdiag -v|grep hme
the output looks like:

I/O PCI 8 A 1 33 66 1,1 ok SUNW,hme-pci108e,1001 SUNW,qsi-cheerio

What does this mean.

can you please explain.

After this can you plase write the steps to
configure this networkcard with an IP address
and subnetmask etc.

Regards,
Venkat Yalla.

try typing the following

ifconfig hme0 up

now when you type ifconfig -a you should see hme0 listed

to give it an IP and netmask
type

ifconfig hme0 192.10.2.27 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

now type ifconfig -a and you will see that hme0 has an ip address and netmask

if you want to make the ip address permenant you need to make a file called /etc/hostname.hme0

to do this type

echo 192.10.2.27 > /etc/hostname.hme0

now when you reboot you should see a message in the startup saying configuring network interfaces eri0 hme0
