IP issue

BalajiUthira · January 28, 2011, 6:07am

hi ,

I have a Solaris server [at a remote location] which is part of a domain. The IP for this Solaris box is allocated dyanamically by a DHCP. Everytime the solaris box is restarted the IP gets changed. Being an admin what should i do to find the new ip of the Solaris server sitting at my location? Till now i get the IP by accessing the server at its location.

Cheers,
Balaji

U need to put an ip in DHCP reservation so that the server gets the same ip every time it reboots/or network is restarted

I am curious how often you restart the actual server? Either way, I would probably write some sort of script to kick off at startup to email myself a copy of that machine's new ip address.
