hi guys... i badly need your help... i wanna know the maximum number of logical IPs that a SOLARIS 2.6 (SunOS 5.2) can support or handle... in SOLARIS 2.5 i can only add 255 logical IPs... i need to add more (about 2,000) so upgraded the system to 2.6... can anyone answer this question for me? thanks in advance...
 
In Solaris 2.6 you can go greater than 256 ( 0-255 ) which is configurable with NDD. The command:

#ndd -set /dev/ip ip_addrs_per_if <1-8192>

will permit you to configure as many as your addressing structure will permit (up to 8191 virtual hosts.)

Hope this help.

Regards,

Carlos Almeida,
