Reading everything in the entire history contained in this message, it appears that "networking" *is* up. That is to say, whatever difficulties you are having are unrelated to the device driver or the hardware and are instead at layer 3. When faced with issues of this sort, there are two tactics I like to employ to debug the problem: 1. Disconnect the system from larger upstream networks. Attach a single crossover cable (or two straight-through cables and a known-good hub) between the admin network device of the system being debugged and a network device that is known to work on another host (this is one of the few things laptops are especially good for). Note that gigabit Ethernet does not require crossover cabling as it is required by the standard to be autosensing, although as with any standard one should not rely on proper implementation in a system that is known not to be working. One can then experiment with extremely simple layer 3 configurations on the two hosts to validate conclusively that layers 1 and 2 are working properly. If in fact this does not work with even the most trivial possible layer 3 configuration, proceed to tactic #2... 2. Bypass layer 3 entirely by using a layer 2 protocol. We ship, and enable by default, LLDP, making that a good choice for this. An intermediate step here is to manually set ARP entries on both hosts to rule out layer 2 broadcast issues; you may wish to try that before moving on to LLDP or another layer 2 protocol. By default, the system should transmit and listen for LLDP frames on all network devices that are up (which yours is). You can verify that this is occurring via truss, DTrace, snoop, and other tools. Once you have found that the packets are being sent by lldpd on the system being debugged, use whatever network tracing software is available to you on the peer host to determine whether they are being received properly. If they are, you have ruled out layer 1 and 2 problems generally. If not, your next step depends on whether there are no packets being received at all or if they are being received with some kind of corruption. In either case, your likely next step will be to use DTrace to determine whether the packets are making it to your hardware device or being dropped somewhere in the kernel. If they are making it to the device, you may wish to use an oscilloscope to determine conclusively that they are not making it onto the wire (condemn NIC); if they are not, you will need to determine what software is dropping them and why, using DTrace and source code analysis. The overwhelmingly likely outcome of this will be that you exonerate layers 1 and 2 and will need to proceed to understand the layer 3 misconfiguration involved. Typical tools here include ping, traceroute, dig, and netstat. Debugging layer 3 problems involves very little SmartOS-specific knowledge, and you can find plenty of information on appropriate tactics by searching the Internet (from a working host, naturally). Unfortunately, we do not know the details of the networks to which your host is attached, so it is impossible to provide more specific guidance; however, there is nothing SmartOS-specific about getting layer 3 connectivity to the GZ working via the admin network. > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Friday, September 19, 2014 1:11 PM > To: [email protected]; [email protected] > Subject: RE: [smartos-discuss] Network Problem > > > > Correction: > > > > # dladm show-link > > LINK CLASS MTU STATE BRIDGE OVER > > bge0 phys 1500 up -- -- > > > > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Friday, September 19, 2014 1:06 PM > To: [email protected]; [email protected] > Subject: RE: [smartos-discuss] Network Problem > > > > # prtconf -dD | grep bge > > pci103c,705d (pciex14e4,165b) [Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme > BCM5723 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe], instance #0 (driver name: bge) > > > > # dladm show-link > > LINK CLASS MTU STATE BRIDGE OVER > > bge0 phys 1500 down -- -- > > > > Still cant ping out … or oing the server from the LAN. > > > > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 9:03 AM > To: [email protected]; [email protected] > Subject: RE: [smartos-discuss] Network Problem > > > > Ok, as advised on IRC #smartos, I connected to the server via the serial > port.
