I have installed Solaris 8 on 420R. I wanted to tune the network settings. When I am running the SE toolkit , I am getting the following message. It is droping the more packets. It is not the problem with network, because the same system is running fine with 2.6.
AGGREGATE NETWORK INFORMATION
Overall state of the network interfaces:
black Problem: network failure
Errors seen, fix hardware or cables
State Name Ipkt/s Opkt/s Err/s Coll% NoCanPut/s Defer/s
black hme0 36.4 13.7 0.53 7.56 0.00 0.00
Hi,
From your message it looks that there are a lot of collisions between packets.
Try to find out the network settings on your server with the following commands (for hme interface):
ndd -get /dev/hme link_speed(1=100mbps,0=10mbps)
ndd -get /dev/hme link_mode(1=full duplex,0=half duplex)
If u find out that your system defaults to 10Mbps(half duplex) then u can force it to work at 100Mbps(FD) with the following commands:
ndd -set /dev/hme instance 0
ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100fdx_cap 1
ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100hdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10fdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10hdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/hme adv_autoneg_cap 0
Then see the network stats with 'netstat -i' command and look for Oerrs and Collis.
If u still find problem then reply back.
Thanks for your help, I have tryied with that, even I am getting same kind of report. Is there any chnages to done on Solaris 8, It was working fine with 2.6, After installing solaris 8, we are facing this kind of problem, even no users are connected and there is no trafic also.
If you have any idea, Please reply me back.
Hey,
What I think is, your router may stiil be working at 10Mbps.U should ask your N/W guys to force the speed of router to 100Mbps instead of auto-negotiable.Secondly, there may be some problem with your network card also.
Thanks for your reply, the system is connected to 100Mbps.
I am expacting that While installing I was selected IPv6, but the IPv6 is not using. Here is the output of the ifconfig -a.
Do u have any idea, How to disable the IPv6 on solaris 8?
