i have created an additional loopback interface for denying ARP reply for a
certain ip, here are the commands i have run:
ifconfig lo0:1 plumb
ifconfig lo0:1 x.x.x.x -arp netmask 255.255.255.255 up
secondly i need to make it permanent , so i tried the following to insert into
the /etc/hostname.lo:1 but without any success after rebooting
plumb x.x.x.x -arp netmask 255.255.255.255 up
can anybody tell me what is the right syntax?
thanks in advanced
Some points:
1) Your text above is missing a zero after 'lo' in the filename -
/etc/hostname.lo0:1 should work fine.
2) You're using the single-line form of hostname.* file, so "netmask
+ broadcast + up" will automatically be added, which may have a bearing
on things...
3) You don't need the "plumb" keyword. Presence of the file is
enough to get the interface plumbed.
4) You don't define "without success". Did you get errors on the
console? Anything in /var/svc/log/network-physical:default.log or
/etc/svc/volatile/network-physical:default.log relating to lo0:1 ?
5) Which OS release and build / patch level are you using?
6) As other relies have noted - this may not be the best way to
achieve what you are after. What problem are you trying to avoid?
7) Are you running a zone with the same IP address as x.x.x.x ?
When I test your hostname.lo0:1 file on Solaris 10 update 8, it works as
expected (as far as I can tell).
