Hello,
I just installed a recent version of Solaris Express, snv143. I noticed that
somehow, it is difficult to manually setup ip address to a port that is not
configured by default.
I used to use "ifconfig" to manually plumb and assign IP addresses, but it does
not work on recent version of Solaris Express OS.
I tested on a Sun x86 server with 4 igb ports whose default mother board nic,
igb0, has been set to 172.17.138.74. But when I try to setup any other
none-default port, I always fail with "ifconfig: could not create
address:Operation not supported" error. I encountered same issue with other
company's network drivers. So, this is issue of recent version of Solaris
Express OS.
It seems to me that the only way to setup IP address is through
System->Administration->Network menu. I have not figured out any other easier
way.
Can someone tell me how to setup IP address on newer Solaris Express OS?
Tom
