Solaris Networking
Hi Friends,
Having come from the Linux background I am not able to understand the difference between the Interfaces: "bge#" & "e1000g#". I know the question would be simple for the Solaris experts. But I am looking for something which explains the solaris networking in detail and virtual IP address assigning. Regards, RHADMN |
The difference is simply the driver used to handle the NIC. Both bge# and e1000g# would map to eth# on linux.
Assigning a virtual IP can be done with the ifconfig command, eg: Code:
ifconfig bge0:1 plumb Code:
ifconfig bge0 addif 192.168.1.2 Note that Solaris 11 no more distinguish interfaces names by default and uses net0, net1 and so on. Solaris 11 also introduces a totally different command set to administrate the network interfaces. |
Hi jlliagre,
Thanks a lot for the reply. Appreciate it. Would you be able to assist me with some relevant Solaris Network Documents ? |
Start with the manual pages:
Code:
man ifconfig |
Thanks jlliagre

Just something to be aware of interface speed was often restricted by type for some of the old interfaces:
ce - 1000/full eri - 100/full ge - 1000/full hme - 100/full qfe - 100/full bge - 1000/full |
