Hello, Thanks a lot and sorry for my late reply. hdorsman> That is a security feature built into FW-1 so that the system hdorsman> does not come up with unprotected interfaces.

Even I disable automatic start of FireWall-1/VPN-1 module at boot time by cpconfig, I get the same error message and the OS could not boot normally. hdorsman> Question, though, why do you want to rename your interface? Just for configuration of a ineterface conveniently for some software. hdorsman> I am a little confused about at what level you actually want to hdorsman> name it. Device level naming is done in the OS, and I am not hdorsman> even sure if you can successfully rename it there. The interface hdorsman> hostname is done in /etc/hostname.<ifname> which should be pretty hdorsman> simple. Without Fw-1 installation in the Solaris, we can rename it by the way which I mentioned before. The output of ifconfig -a shows the new interface name. BTW, AFAIK StoneBeat FullCluster can rename a interface name to sbifx on FW-1. I intend to do the same way with them.
