List,
On Solaris, the /etc/defaultrouter file is used to permanently configure =
the "default route" for a machine with 1 or more Ethernet interfaces =
upon boot-up. The name or IP address of the router on 1 of your =
directly connected segments is placed in this file. If a name is used, =
resolve it to an IP address in your /etc/inet/hosts file. There is no =
need to add "route" commands to any Foxboro startup mechanism such as =
/etc/fox/rc.foxapps. Obviously, you can use the route command to add or =
delete your currently configured default route.
Also, use the /etc/inet/netmasks to set the subnetmask for any of your =
interfaces if they are different than their IP range specific class. =
(e.g. mask a class B network to a class C network which is a pretty =
standard thing to do.) Do not add any entries for the nodebus interface =
since they run as a standard class B. This file is also read upon =
boot-up of the machine.

Sorry, it's early and I haven't had enough coffee. I sent the wrong set =
of
instructions. This is way I do it for our ethernet network.
Second Ethernet Port Setup
Used for changing or adding the AW to the company LAN
# cd ^/etc
add the ip address and machine name to the hosts file, you will also =
need
to edit the netmask to add the default gateway.
add the machine name to the hostname.hme1 (or if it is token ring tr?) =
or
leX
To keep from having to reboot the machine for the changes to take affect
you can use the following commands:
# ifconfig hme1 (tr?)^plumb [enter]
# ifconfig hme1 (tr?) xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (ip address)^netmask ^xxx.xxx.xxx
(netmask number)^up [enter] (all one line)
Adding a default gateway:
# netstat^-r [enter]
type route add default xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (default router address)^l =
[enter]
On some systems you may have do the following to make the default router
permanent:
/etc/fox
textedit the rc.foxapps file and add the following
route add default xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (router address)
If this file does not exist create the file by doing the following:
Textedit rc.foxapps.
Add the flowing lines
#! /bin/sh
/usr/sbin/route^add^net, default^ IP address ^1
Save it!
From VT100
At the # chmod^755 rc.foxapps. This will make it an executable file.

This is the way that I do it.
Lost Network Connection
Ethernet
From VT100
#ifconfig^-a [enter]
Should return a list of network devices. The one you are looking for =
is=3D
hme1
Somewhere in the information on this device should be the word UP.
#ifconfig^hme1^down [enter] (hme1 is our logical name, you will need =
to=3D
check for your name)
This should shutdown the token-ring card.
#ifconfig^hme1 [enter]
Verify the word UP does not appear in any of the returned information,
#ifconfig^hme1^up [enter]
This should restart the token-ring card.
#ifconfig^hme1 [enter]
Verify that the word UP appears in the returned information.
If all of this doesn't work you will have to reboot the AW.
Do an orderly shutdown with fsck-y.
At #AW5101 halt
At ok turn off the power on the machine and wait several minutes then
restore power and
let the AW reboot from a powered down configuration

Hi List
We have 2 x AW51B's and 1 x WP51B on our node which connects to our
corporate network with a router. All three units are equipped with =
2nd=3D
Ethernet cards. I need to change the IP addresses of the 2nd Ethernet
cards and the router.
Except for editing the "/etc/hosts*" files, is there anything else I =
sh=3D
ould
change or fix.
