How to tracert IP on sun

[sibeliusto]

Hi, Sorry to trouble your.

Actually, how can we trace the IP on Sun Solaris. On windows NT, we can used the command &quot;tracert <IP Address>&quot;.
How about on Sun Solaris??

Cheers!

Not sure if Solaris comes with a traceroute command. You should be able to download the traceroute utility from

http://www.sunfreeware.com

&quot;traceroute&quot; command is only available in Solaris versions >= 2.7, if you are using Solaris 2.6 you will need to follow
&quot;Grega&quot; sugestion and download &quot;traceroute&quot; from sunfreeware.

Hope this helps.

Thanks you to your prompt reply!

May I know the same command on AIX server?

Actually, I faced some problem during I installed checkpoint firewall on Sun Solaris and AIX server.

I faced another problem on Sun Solaris is my Sun have quad cards and one onboard network adapter. There is very funny because I have key-in hosts name, IP address, netmask for all the network adapter. When I ifconfig -a, there only show me the correct setting of the onboard network adapter. The less is not show correctly. So, What I do is copy the working file from other server and replace it! Then it work!

Anyone can answer my doubt!

Cheers!

AIX also has &quot;traceroute&quot; command, on Solaris if you have a quad ethernet (qfe0,qfe1,qfe2,qfe3) Solaris at boot will use /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname.qfeX (X=0 to 3), to configure them, so you should create files if they don't exist, i.e if your qfe0 will be hostname &quot;myhost-qfe0&quot; with ip 192.168.1.1 do the following:

add myhost-qfe0 192.168.1.1 to /etc/hosts create /etc/hostname.qfe0
# echo myhost-qfe0 > /etc/hostname.qfe0
# ifconfig qfe0 192.168.1.1 ....
# ifconfig qfe0 up

you can also add network mask to /etc/netmasks in our example

192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0

Hope this helps,

Thanks to your reply!

If I created those files from the file manager. Then I need to type this command on console or terminal!

# ifconfig qfe0 up

Or another way is follow the command below to create the files!

add myhost-qfe0 192.168.1.1 to /etc/hosts create /etc/hostname.qfe0
# echo myhost-qfe0 > /etc/hostname.qfe0
# ifconfig qfe0 192.168.1.1 ....
# ifconfig qfe0 up

Am I right?

Thanks!

Cheers!

Yes !, &quot;ifconfig qfe0 up&quot;, will bring interface up (you can then try ping to check if responds ok.

Basically, I able to ping the IP addresses of those cards after I created through the File Manager. But when I type &quot;ifconfig -a&quot;. Only the onboard adapter is display the correct IP address. The less is not!

I'll try it later and let you know!

Cheers!
