Hi All, I used to work in Solaris 5 and could add interfaces to the box using following command. #ifconfig hme0:1 192.17.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up This used to add 192.17.0.2 network interface to the sun box(IP of the Sun Box 192.168.100.110) and I could connect any node in the n/w with 192.17.0.x. I need to do the same in Solaris 8, but failed. #ifconfig eri0:1 192.17.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up FAILED !

Solaris 8 does not use the colon + interface To configure eri0: ----- ifconfig eri0 192.17.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.17.0.255 up ----- To configure eri1 ----- ifconfig eri1 192.17.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.17.0.255 up ----
