[osol-discuss] DHCP to Static IP
I've installed OSOL-0906 and I'm having problems setting a static IP address. I tried searching on Google also but non of it helped. Can someone list the steps necessary to go from DHCP to a static IP? I've had the same problem with earlier versions of Opensolaris and have refrained from using it. This same issue I've had with Linux (Ubuntu, Mint) but they have been resolved in their recent releases. Why hasn't Opensolaris made this a non-issue like its competition being that they want a share of the desktop? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] DHCP to Static IP
Hello, Neil! The steps to configure a static IP address are what follows: a) pfexec svcadm enable physical:default b) pfexec svcadm disable physical:nwam c) Open the network administration gui, and configure the static IP address for your host. Remember to fill all the fields (DNS, defaultrouter, netmask, AND the hosts file). d) If you want to check if the changes are stable, reboot your machine. Best regards, HeCSa.

Can someone list the steps necessary to go from DHCP to a static IP? I recommend you keep nwam running and edit the llp file to add the static nodes: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/nwam/phase0/llp/ I normally edit /etc/hosts to have the correct values also, then set the default router using: % pfexec route -p add default Then restart nwam: % pfexec svcadm restart nwam This is normally an easier and more persistent solution than disabling nwam.

Thanks, Jim! I was very used to disable nwam. I'll do it this way. Best regards, HeCSa.

Re: [osol-discuss] DHCP to Static IP
If you want to use Crossbow then you can't have nwam running otherwise after a reboot none of the virtual devices created will show under 'dladm show-link', although they continue to work; you just can't see them. I have to disable nwam and enable physical for Crossbow to persistently display devices across reboots. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

FWIW, the upcoming Phase 1 release of NWAM should make this much easier -- the GUI will support static IP configuration in addition to DHCP. Not sure exactly when it's going to hit /dev, though.
