ifconfig question

[paladin256]

I have two servers, a sunfire v100 and a netra t1, both have dual nics. When I do a ifconfig -a on them it only shows one nic . How do I get the systems to see the other nic?

Thanks

you need to set up the ports.

do a more on /etc/hosts you will see the ip of your system and system name.

do a more on /etc/hostname.* - You will see hostname.hme0 or hostname.eri0 under this you will see the name of your system.

You need to create an a hostname.hme1 or hostname.eri1 and give the ethernet a name.

Then make an entry in your hosts file giving it an ip address and the name you put in the hostname file you created.

reboot the system to make have configuration take place.

do remember to
setenv local-mac-adress? true
on Openbootprom ("BIOS") to have a different MAC on each NIC
