Hi,

I got a netra with two ethernets. If I perform a ifconfig -a I got the lo0 and hme0 but no hme1 !
There is a way to activate it ?

Thks

Hi Jm,

tried below method,
login as root user;
#eeprom pcib-probe-list=1,2,3
#eeprom output-device=ttya
#eeprom input-device=ttya
reboot your netra, shall be ok.

regards
 
Hi there,

do you see the hme1 in the /etc/path_to_inst file?
Then you don't have to reboot and you can do the following steps:

# ifconfig hme1 plumb
# ifconfig hme1 IP address broadcast + netmask +

(netmask + sets the network mask as defined in /etc/netmasks, broadcast + sets the broadcast address accordingly)

# ifconfig hme1 up

Ok,

I have checked this file and I just find "hme". The ifconfig does't work as the system doesn't see the "hme1" interface.

I will try the solution of fissa later when I can reboot the Netra. By the way what's the meaning of the pcib-probe-list and the meaning of the level 1, 2, 3? On my system only 1,2 was activated.

Try doing this for hme1...Instead of hme1....do hme0:1

#ifconfig hme0:1 plumb
#ifconfig hme0:1 inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.xxx up
#ifconfig -a

 
Sorry Maunir,

but that's to add a second IP add to hme0.

There is no screen on this box then how can I check that ?

Hi fissa,

Today we had the opportunity to reboot the Netra and we got it !

Thks a lot.

Hi JM,

you are welcome. below are the pcib-probe-list description,
i get it from sunsolve.

By manufacturing default, the Sun Netra t1 Server OBP env parameter pcib-probe-list was set to 1,2 which means that only devices 1 and 2 on the bus are probed and enabled. Thus, only the ebus and the first ethernet device are enabled. The second ethernet port device, 3, becomes disabled by default.

regards
fissa
