Hi,
I've recently moved my pci LAN card from Slot2 Slot5 on my sun x4270_m2 server (solaris 10).
I've done the
touch / reconfigure
and
devfsadm
, however my issue is that im able to configure the e1000g7 port with an ip address (192.168.0.1) but if i plug my laptop (set with static ip address of 192.168.0.10) to the back of the server on port e1000g7 with a straight cable, i am not able to ping that IP address...i get 'unreachable host'
Does anyone know what I'm missing??

please post the output of "dladm show-dev".
Hi DukeNuke2,
Here is the output:
root@4b>dladm show-dev
igb0 link: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full
igb1 link: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full
igb2 link: down speed: 0 Mbps duplex: half
igb3 link: down speed: 0 Mbps duplex: half
e1000g4 link: unknown speed: 0 Mbps duplex: half
e1000g5 link: unknown speed: 0 Mbps duplex: half
e1000g6 link: down speed: 0 Mbps duplex: half
e1000g7 link: down speed: 0 Mbps duplex: half
root@4b>
Any ideas?
was the output with cable to the laptop to the port? also the output of "ifconfig -a" might be helpfull...
Hi Duke,
With my laptop connected, here is the output:
root@4b>dladm show-dev
igb0 link: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full
igb1 link: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full
igb2 link: down speed: 0 Mbps duplex: half
igb3 link: down speed: 0 Mbps duplex: half
e1000g4 link: unknown speed: 0 Mbps duplex: half
e1000g5 link: unknown speed: 0 Mbps duplex: half
e1000g6 link: down speed: 0 Mbps duplex: half
e1000g7 link: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full
root@4b>
and the ifconfig:
root@4b>ifconfig -a

I'm sure it must be some small thing that im missing, but I still cant ping 192.168.0.10 (my laptop) from the server, or ping 192.168.0.1 from my laptop.
Hope you can help

try a "ifconfig aggr1 down" and after that, try again with the ping. you have two interfaces in the same net/subnet. so the ping might go out through the other interface.
aggr1 is btw a link aggregation which you can have a look at with "dladm show-aggr".
Hi Duke,
Excellent! It worked that time.
I see the problem now, from the ''dladm show -aggr'', it shows:
root@4b>dladm show-aggr
key: 1 (0x0001) policy: L4 address: 0:21:28:8e:86:ef (auto)
device address speed duplex link state
igb1 0:21:28:8e:86:ef 1000 Mbps full up attached
igb3 0:21:28:8e:86:f1 0 Mbps half down standby
root@4b>
so igb3 is the standby in my current config, whereas i need to have e1000g7 as my standby.
I suppose I can use the 'dladm create-aggr' and create the correct interface?
this is link aggregation! your switch has to supoort this! if you want network failover features you have to use ipmp!
