Network interface issue

UNIX Solaris
1

Hi All,

I want to configure network into my system.

i tried following in to configure the interface

to find the name of interface

#prtdiag |grep net

i got following

0 PCI-1 33 1 network-SUNW, hme

then i tried following

#prtconf -v |grep net

network, instance #0

not sure is above is what i tried plumbing the interface with following

#ifconfig hme plumb

i got error as

ifconfig: plumb:hme: no such interface

then i tried

#ifconfig hme

and got following

ifconfig: status:SIOCGLIFFLAGS: hme: no such interface

please suggest as what could be the reason for same

which solaris version do you use? post the output of:

cat /etc/release

For what it's worth, you are going down the right path - but you need to plumb the instance - not just the type of interface
ie:

ifconfig hme0 plumb

and then assign the IP address / broadcast / netmask / group / etc.

ifconfig hme0 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1 255 up

Its Solaris 10 5/08 s10s_u5wos_10 SPARC.

i an see the interface in /etc/path_to_inst as

"/pci@,0/pci@1,1/network@1,1" 0 "hme"

5

Then the first instance is hme0 (not hme)

if you are under solaris 10, please post the output of "dladm show-dev" and lets see which interfaces you have...
if it is a hme interface, use the post above your last. the procedure should work!

Thanks avronius!

its working okay, i was plumbing the interface instate of instance.

Thanks again
