bge has worked in Solaris for eons, so I can't offer any advice, sorry. But what I still don't understand is why upgrading the image caused my nic to stop working and a complete reinstall to make it working again.

RTL810 1E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller], instance #0 (driver name: rge ) Well, I reinstalled after booting to "noinstall" then ran "zpool import zones" and "zpool destroy zones" and went through the setup and the rge interface now works. Not sure what would have caused that from a working June image to rebooting with the September images and the NIC wouldn't work, but it does after a new installation. Anyway, I had saved all files that I needed from any Zones that were there, so nothing lost. As a longtime AIX and Solaris admin, I must say that SmartOS is great and I let everyone know about it. Since I've had many years with Solaris, when I was moving my domains from OpenBSD, my choices were FreeBSD, OpenIndiana, OmniOS or SmartOS. Because of my comfort with Solaris it was going to be one of the latter 3, and OI doesn't get updates often, and I preferred the way SmartOS is done as a hypervisor over OmniOS. Will be adding at least two more websites soon, too. Just want to say thanks again for SmartOS and the support.

I don't recommend using Windows to debug, unless you are a Microsoft OS engineer. The functionality it provides is limited and what there is, is hard to use. The host unreachable error could indicate a layer 3 configuration problem on your test machine, or it could indicate that the test machine is sending ARP requests for the destination address and not receiving replies. You will want to move on to ARP debugging as I noted previously. > # snoop -d bge0 > Using device bge0 (promiscuous mode) > ? -> (multicast) ETHER Type=88CC (Unknown), size=82 bytes > ? -> (multicast) ETHER Type=88CC (Unknown), size=82 bytes > ? -> (multicast) ETHER Type=88CC (Unknown), size=82 bytes > ? -> (multicast) ETHER Type=88CC (Unknown), size=82 bytes > (broadcast) ARP C Who is 172.16.30.65 The type 88CC packets are those being sent by lldpd, as I mentioned.

Numerous people have sent you numerous suggestions for approaches to try, commands (you can read the manual for each one with 'man <command>'; e.g., 'man arp') that may be useful, and protocols you can research on the Internet. We are not here, in general, to teach you how Ethernet or IP work; those are general concepts that are independent of SmartOS which you can and should research on your own. DTrace has its own entire web-based guide, in addition to the command's manual page. See http://dtrace.org/guide. > If I install Ubuntu on this same server everything works fine. I installed > OmniOS and I had the same issue as with smartOs! Ok. That rules out a completely nonfunctional NIC. There are still many possibilities; the two most likely theories have already been described to you: an incompatibility between the illumos bge driver and your specific MAC ASIC, and a layer 3 configuration problem. Everything you need to start making progress toward distinguishing the two has already been provided to you in this thread. ------------------------------------------- smartos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/26461380-1faa08ce Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?&; Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com ------------------------------------------- smartos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/24559458-54d8e931 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?&; Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com smartos-discuss | Archives | Modify Your Subscription ------------------------------------------- smartos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/25769125-55cfbc00 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=25769125&id_secret=25769125-7688e9fb Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
