Hi,
can You please advise why I cannot enable ncp below, in Solaris 11?

Hi,
Here is what I've got. what is the problem of net0? why isn't it "192.168.168.21"?

huamin@SOL11I:~$ netadm list
TYPE        PROFILE        STATE
ncp         Automatic      online
ncu:phys    net0           online

ncu:ip      net0           offline*
ncu:ip      net1           online
ncp         DefaultFixed   disabled
loc         Automatic      online
loc         NoNet          offline
loc         DefaultFixed   offline
loc         huamin.com     offline
huamin@SOL11I:~$ ifconfig -a

ncp is online, you need to switch?

Example 7-2 Switching the Default NCP
Switching network configuration modes requires you to enable the appropriate NCP for that configuration mode. The following example shows how to switch from automatic network configuration mode to manual network configuration mode by enabling the DefaultFixed NCP.
$ netadm enable -p ncp DefaultFixedSwitch to the Automatic NCP as follows:
$ netadm enable -p ncp Automatic

Thanks a lot.

I know I can change it to Automatic or DefaultFixed.

Does it mean the server would be only with either one Automatic IP (from ISP) or one DefaultFixed one? Can I achieve the same as that of Linux server, like net0 is with one Fixed IP, and net1 with Allocated IP (from ISP)?

6

192.168.168.21 doesn't look like a valid IP address to me.

7

In Redhat, I can have a Fixed IP for net0 like that.

8

You are right. Somehow I was thinking it was 5 numbers not 4. Pardon me.

Hi,
Could you please advise why I get these?

netcfg> create ncp myncp 
Create error: entity exists
netcfg> select ncp myncp
netcfg:ncp:myncp> list
ncp:myncp
    management-type     reactive
netcfg:ncp:myncp> set ipv4-addrsrc=static
Set error: invalid ncp property: 'ipv4-addrsrc'
netcfg:ncp:myncp>

Any help please?

Thanks.
Can I know what should be checked in my case? Why I got the error?

Many Thanks & Best Regards,

It says what works in automatic is not what works in manual, so pick the correct column.

15

Thanks. I followed the steps in that. Can you please advise why I've got these?

root@SOL11I:/home/huamin# netadm enable -p ncp Automatic
ncp 'Automatic' is already enabled
root@SOL11I:/home/huamin# netadm list
TYPE        PROFILE        STATE
ncp         Automatic      online
ncu:phys    net0           online
ncu:phys    net1           online
ncu:ip      net0           offline*
ncu:ip      net1           online
ncp         DefaultFixed   disabled
loc         Automatic      online
loc         NoNet          offline
root@SOL11I:/home/huamin# netcfg "select ncp sol11; select ncu ip ncu-name; set ipv4-addrsrc=static; set ipv4-addr = 192.168.168.21./24"
Select error: entity not found
root@SOL11I:/home/huamin# 
root@SOL11I:/home/huamin#

Just a stab from a tyro, but I would expect you might need to "select ncp Automatic" or "select ncp DefaultFixed", as no other ncp are listed.

17

Can you advise why I get the error above, or any other action should be taken instead?

Many Thanks & Best Regards,

Any help?

I think it say the ncp is not know by sol11, try one of the two values listed or create a new ncp we can see on the list.

Can you make it clearer? Can static IP and Dynamic one exist within the same Solaris machine?
