Sun Solaris ethernet interface

UNIX Solaris
1

Hi,

During the installation of solaris suppose I am configuring one ethernet interface that is primary but on my server there are 4 ethernet interfaces,because all other interface not configured,

what is way to find out how many ethernet interfaces are there on Server,

2

try "ifconfig -a", this will tell you the ones that are plumbed.

Hi.

You can try to make a RC for plumb interfases or
make a manual configuration

  • /etc/hostname.interface = inside interfase name
  • /etc/hosts = ip and alias
  • etc/netmask = the mask address
4

if you are on solaris 10 try:

"dladm show-link"

This will show you both plumbed and unplumbed interfaces

# prtconf -D | grep network
        network, instance #0 (driver name: bge)
        network, instance #1 (driver name: bge)
        network, instance #2 (driver name: bge)
        network, instance #3 (driver name: bge)

Cheers,
ZB

use the command

  dladm show-dev

This command will show the interfaces.
