There is a bit of confusion here about old-style and new-style Solaris network configuration... ;-) You can use the (always good) "file editing" old-style
OR, ALTERNATIVELY the new tool ipadm. I have to say that I'm a bit perplex in mixing the two approaches... In both cases you need first of all to disable Network magic (nwam) and enable the network "physical" management through SFM: # svcadm disable svc:/network/physical:nwam # svcadm enable svc:/network/physical:default Then you can perform all manually, by: 1. Editing/creating the following files (in your case int_name=bge0): /etc/hostname.int_name --> 192.168.10.10 /etc/netmasks ---> 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0 (I'm assuming a standard class C network) /etc/hosts --> 192.168.10.10 sol11 sol11.mynnet.local loghost /etc/defaultrouter --> 192.168.10.1 2.Specifying that DNS is the source of information for host and network names resolution: /etc/resolv.conf --> domain mynnet.local nameserver 192.168.10.25 #cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf You have to reboot the machine in order that your setting became effective. Be aware that /etc/nodename defines the name of the host as prompted at login, and it as nothing to do with network configuration.... However, it is very important for the correct operation of some software, primarily the X server. If you wish to change the nodename of your Solaris box, FIRST disable the X server. ALTERNATIVELY, you can use ipadm and route (Solaris 11) to perform step 1 above: ipadm create-addr -T static -a 192.168.10.10/24 bge0/v4 route -p add default 192.168.10.1 giovanni -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
