And if you really wanted to reboot "init 0" isn't the right thing to do. "reboot" works, as does "init 6". > Also I think it is easier not to mess with static IP if you have DHCP ready: > /etc/nodename (put your hostname here, for DNS) This will override the name provided by DHCP. This is helpful if the name provided is useless or just plain missing (which is all too often true for ISPs). > touch /etc/dhcp.bfe0 (zero size file, necessary for plumb) Actually, that doesn't plumb the interface. That triggers DHCP at boot time. To trigger plumbing at boot time, do this: # touch /etc/hostname.bfe0 > touch /etc/resolv.conf (for DNS) That shouldn't be necessary.

That recipe doesn't quite look right. First of all, if the "HOSTNAME" value isn't in /etc/hosts, then that first ifconfig will hang attempting to look up the "HOSTNAME" via name services. For a static address configuration, I would suggest this instead: # ifconfig bfeN plumb IPADDR/PREFIXLEN broadcast + up # echo IPADDR/PREFIXLEN > /etc/hostname.bfeN Or, for a more concrete example: # ifconfig bfe0 plumb 192.168.1.1/24 broadcast + up # echo 192.168.1.1/24 > /etc/hostname.bfe0 > you can obtain address/DNS from DHCP: > > # ifconfig bfeN auto-dhcp > # ifconfig bfeN ( ensure IP address is correct) > # ifconfig bfeN up ( and then you can test with ping, telnet, ftp > ...) dhcpagent (the DHCP client) will automatically set the IFF_UP bit. Do *NOT* try to manage it yourself via ifconfig. I would have done this: # ifconfig bfeN plumb # ifconfig bfeN dhcp start -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
