Re: [foxboro] IP MASKS

It looks like the Sun startup scripts configure the netmask from the 
/etc/netmasks file -- actually, from wherever the /etc/nsswitch.conf 
directs. First, I'd try using tabs to separate the two values in 
/etc/netmasks instead of spaces, or vice versa; some of these old Unix 
utlities (incorrectly) do not treat all whitespace equally.  The next step 
is to verify that your nsswitch.conf has a line like "netmasks:  files" 
(no quotes) in it.


If that does not work, you can brute-force it in a /etc/rc2.d/S99something 
script (the Sun way) or in /etc/fox/user_apps.dat (the Foxboro way) with 
the following command:


/sbin/ifconfig le1 netmask 255.255.254.0

Hi everybody,

=20

How can I configure a network number different to the class A, B or C, I =
am trying to use the netmasks 255.255.254.0 and does not work. Actually =
I have configured the netmasks file like this:

=20

172.27.8.0                 255.255.254.0

=20

And when I run the ifconfig -a command I get this:

=20

ST0002# ifconfig -a

lo0: flags=3D849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 8232

inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000

le0: flags=3D863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

inet 151.128.16.65 netmask ffff0000 broadcast 151.128.255.255

ether 8:0:20:94:68:ff

le1: flags=3D863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

inet 172.27.8.74 netmask ffff0000 broadcast 172.27.255.255

ether 8:0:20:94:68:ff

=20

Why the netmask change from my configuration to this? Exist a way to fix =
the netmask to our IT requirement?
