Where is my dmfe1 on SunFire V100?

Hi all,

I've just installed Solaris10 onto my SunFireV100. However, I don't see the 2nd ethernet adapter after the installation finished. There's only one dmfe0. How do I active it again?

Once more, telnet service seem not to be installed sothat I have to use console port to configure it. Can I install telnet or SSH to remote admin this server.

Thank you in advance.

Code:

ifconfig dmfe1 plumb

Telnet service is installed by default, ssh too, but need to be enabled if I recall properly.

Great!!!

Code:

ifconfig dmfe0 plumb

It work.

How can I enable telnet and ssh services ?

Thanks so much

omg, the dmfe1 is "unplumb" after I restart the server. Can I keep it up 4ever ?

To keep dmfe1 after a reboot, just create the /etc/hostname.dmfe1 file with the wanted IP address inside.

For the other issue, what show the following commands ?

Code:

svcs -l telnet

svcs -l ssh

Here's the output

Code:

-bash-3.00# svcs -l telnet

fmri        svc:/network/telnet:default

name        Telnet server

enabled      true

state        uninitialized

Code:

-bash-3.00# svcs -l ssh  

fmri        svc:/network/ssh:default

name        SSH server

Can you give me the format of the file /etc/hostname.dmfe1

Thanks.

I put "192.168.1.4 netmask 255.255.255.0" into /etc/hostname.dmfe1 file, after restart, i see the dmfe1 up but i can not ping to my pc (192.168.1.44), if move the cable to dmfe0, ping is okie. What's problem here?

Haha, I can start telnet and ssh service. just create file /etc/resolv.conf and put "nameserver 192.168.1.2" inside this file, restart server and these services come up. I think because file /etc/resolv.conf is absent so inetd couldn't start > telnet and SSH same. Is it rite ?

Well, you had a messed up network configuration.
You told the system to use dns as a name resolution method, but you didn't configure dns. As a consequence, the services depending on a proper network initialization weren't launched, that make sense.

About dmfe1, what says "ifconfig -a" an "netstat -rn" ?

Which option should I choose for name resolution method? I don't have any DNS server in my lab (I have only 1 PC and 1 Sun). I think that I need to re-install my server (to learn more experience ;) ) . Do you have any suggestion for me sothat i can have the server with good configurations.

Thx.

Hey, it looks like everyone want to reinstall its server as soon as a problem happens. Solaris is not Windows ;)

Choosing the name resolution is done through a single file: /etc/nsswitch.conf

Just copy /etc/resolv.files to /etc/nsswitch.conf and you are set.

I've changed line "hosts: files dns" -> "hosts: files" in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file already.

Howerver, I changed it back "files dns" and type Dns address of my ISP into /etc/resolv.conf file in order to I could access internet.

Of course, before I re-install my server, I will try everything till it stop responding :D

I think these troubles can give me more experiences after I resolve them ;)

I'm confused by your answers.

Again, about dmfe1, what says "ifconfig -a" an "netstat -rn" ?

My Lab is closed today, i will post the output "ifconfig -a" and "netstat -rn" tomorrow.

(I'm not good at English, I'm learning it too :d. Thx for ur reading and understand ;) )

You entered the IPs correctly, right?

Yes, I set 2 ip addresses for my server:
dmfe0: 192.168.1.2 /24
dmfe1: 192.168.1.4 /24

My PC: 192.168.1.44 /24.

What's problem here?

I have 1 cable plug to server.

1st time, I connect this cable to dmfe0 and try to ping my PC. Here is the output:

Code:

-bash-3.00# ifconfig -a                      

lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1  

        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000                                      

dmfe0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2 

        inet 192.168.1.2 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 

        ether 0:3:ba:11:bf:9b 

dmfe1: flags=1000803<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 3 

        inet 192.168.1.4 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 

        ether 0:3:ba:11:bf:9c 



-bash-3.00# ping 192.168.1.44 

192.168.1.44 is alive

Next, I move the cable connect from dmfe0 to dmfe1 and ping my pc again

Code:

-bash-3.00# ifconfig -a

lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1

        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000

dmfe0: flags=1000803<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2

        inet 192.168.1.2 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255

        ether 0:3:ba:11:bf:9b

dmfe1: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 3

        inet 192.168.1.4 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255

        ether 0:3:ba:11:bf:9c



-bash-3.00# ping 192.168.1.44

no answer from 192.168.1.44

The content of /etc/hostname.dmfe1

Code:

-bash-3.00# cat /etc/hostname.dmfe1

192.168.1.4 netmask 255.255.255.0

and the result of netstat -rn command

Code:

-bash-3.00# netstat -rn
