Brian,

I think you're making it too hard. But then again, I learned things the hard
way too. For /etc/inet/netmasks, here's the only line that's not a comment
in my netmasks file:

xxx.xxx.0.0  255.255.248.0

(The x's are in there at the insistence of the company that writes my
paycheck.)

If it helps others, here are the files I modify to make my second Ethernet
interface work:

/etc/hostname.le[123]    for AW-WP51B/C, depending on what's needed
/etc/hostname.hme[12]    for AW-WP51D, depending on what's needed
/etc/defaultrouter       need to create this file, contains IP addr of
router
/etc/resolv.conf         need to create this file (see 'man resolv.conf')
/etc/nsswitch.conf       add 'dns' to the hosts line
/etc/inet/hosts          add IP address and name of 2nd Ethernet interface
/etc/inet/netmasks       add subnet mask (see 'man netmasks')

John,

I tried modifying /etc/netmasks with a leading tab, with no leading spaces,
a tab between the IP an netmask, and with a space between, nothing works.

I made a script that is run by user_apps.dat, which sets the IP address and
netmask correctly, but now the default gateway does not work.  Do I have to
manually add the default router in my startup script also?

Also, does anybody have a good traceroute for solaris?

BTW, I checked the list archive, and Cyrus Taft had a similar problem in
July, but I did not see a definitive resolution to his problem.
....There must be a better way.


      -Regards, Brian Bates.

Brian,

Eliminate the leading tab.  The netmask is applied to the default
"network" portion of your IP address, not the entire IP address.  I do
not know your IP, so I don't know if it is a native class b (first octet
128-191) or class c (first octet 191-223).  Follow the example line in
the /etc/netmasks file.

For example,

151.128.0.0 255.255.255.0=20

(I am using Foxboro's default nodebus IP network address only as an
example!!!)

Thanks for the quick replies.

I should have included some more details. I am setting a new IP address
and netmask to le1( the second ethernet port).

Jeremy, I changed the ipaddress in the host file, and I did add a line
in /etc/netmasks <tab>ipaddress<255.255.255.192>, but when the box boots
up, ifconfig -a indicates that le1 reverts back to netmask 255.255.0.0
(with the new IP address).

I do not want to change the le0 settings.

Brian,

The /etc/netmasks file is used to permanently set a netmask to an IP
address.  It is best to use the mechanisms provide by the operating
system.

It looks like you trying to set a netmask for nodebus interface (le0) on
a 51A or 51B machine.  Why do you want to do this?  IA, by default
expects a class B netmask (255.255.0.0).

Hi list.

I want to change the netmask on le0 to 255.255.255.192 permanently on an
AW51. If I use ifconfig, it reverts back to 255.255.0.0 next reboot.
Their must be a better way than to make a startup scrip. Any ideas?


      -Thanks in advance, Brian Bates.
