Hi
i have replace a NIC card on solaris 10 when i give the following command
ifconfig -a
it just show the lo0 (only loop back with inet 127.0.0.1)
when i give the following command to config the interface,
ifconfig elxl0 plumb
ifconfig: plumb: elxl0: no such interface
please help me to solve the issue
What does
dladm show-dev
say?
when i use the following commands
dladm show-dev
bash: dladm: command not found
dladm shoud be available as /usr/sbin/dladm. If you run the command as root, you'll get something like:
# dladm show-dev
bge0 link: up speed: 100 Mbps duplex: full
bge1 link: unknown speed: 0 Mbps duplex: unknown
The output shows you all network interfaces recognized by the operating system, no matter if they are plumbed or not.
no it don't exist in /usr/sbin/dladm in my OS. One more thing when i reboot the system. it give the following error,
failed to configure IPv4 interface(s); elxl0
what is the output of:
uname -a
cat /etc/release
?
to get rid of the elxl0 message, just delete or rename the file /etc/hostname.elxl0
uname -a
SunOS grsoft 5.10 Generic i86pc i386 i86pc
cat /etc/release

ok, it's an old solaris 10 version which maybe don't have the dladm command. try the following:
ifconfig -a plumb
and post the output of "ifconfig -a"
ifconfig -a plumb # don't show any result
ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPV4,VIRTUAL>mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
your network card is not recognized by solaris. you maybe need to install the drivers. also try a reconfigure reboot.
# reboot -- -r
thanks to all i am going to reinstall solaris let you know about it
Why did you replace it ?
What brand/models of NICs are the old and the new ones ?
