UNIX Solaris
1

Greetings,

I am using solaris10 x86 OS. I configured IP address using the command.

>ifconfig e1000g0 plumb
>ifconfig e1000g0 200.200.0.1 up

How to make this configured IP as permanent.. to solaris os.

hi you need to add the entries to the /etc/hosts file, and also edit the file
/etc/hostname.e1000g0

for example

root@dh-test # vi /etc/hosts

#
# Internet host table
#
127.0.0.1       localhost       dh-test
192.168.10.4    dh-testa        loghost
192.168.10.5    dh-testb
192.168.10.10   dh-test
~

root@dh-test # cat /etc/hostname.e1000g0
dh-testa netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast + group prod deprecated -failover
 up addif dh-test 255.255.255.0 broadcast + failover up


root@dh-test # cat /etc/hostname.e1000g2
dh-testb netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast + group prod deprecated -failover standby up

root@dh-test # ifconfig -a
