I think this is an overstatement. Only network interfaces are under SMF control (not network connections in general), and even that is limited (e.g., for network/physical, no SMF properties or property groups provide the configuration). > File Purpose Example Contents > /etc/hostname.nge0 Computer system hostname. aluminum Generally speaking, the system's name comes from /etc/nodename and is separate from the IP addresses associated with the various IP interfaces. If you need to keep things simple, I'd recommend saying something like "nge0's IP address". > # rm /etc/hostname.nge0 /etc/dhcp.nge0 No need for the "rm". > # echo "aluminum"> /etc/hostname.nge0 > # touch /etc/dhcp.nge0 > # rm /etc/hostname.nge0 /etc/dhcp.nge0 Likewise. > # echo "aluminum"> /etc/hostname.nge0 > # cp /etc/inet/hosts /etc/inet/hosts.orig > # echo "127.0.0.1 loghost"> /etc/inet/hosts > # echo "10.0.0.3 aluminum aluminum.americanbackupsolutions.com">> > /etc/inet/hosts > # echo "10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0">> /etc/inet/netmasks Could just use "/8" in the hostname.nge0 file and skip configuration of /etc/inet/netmasks. -- meem _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
