Solaris 9 Weirdness.....

[jdespres]

I have a Solaris 9 e450 with 4 gig of Ram...

I'm getting the following messages:

May 6 07:19:07 searsnb01 ip: [ID 903730 kern.warning] WARNING: IP: Hardware address '00:03:ba:30:83:08' trying to be our address 166.076.122.001!

Here's output from the ifconfig -a command:

lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
ce0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2

inet 10.131.32.2 netmask ff000000 broadcast 10.255.255.255

As you can see it seem to be complaining about himself!

Very interesting.
Well you have a e450 so your onboard ethernet is hme0.
What does your /etc/hosts show for ip and names?
What do your /etc/hostname.* files have in them?
What is in your /etc/nodename file?

From what your ifconfig shows you are not using the hme0 port. I am interested if there are entries in the etc/hosts, or /etc/hostname.hme0 for the onboard ethernet port.

Thanks

did you connect ce0 and ce1 to the same hub/switch (or did you connect them with X-Cables), is hme0 connected to a network? can you flush the arp cache on this device!?

2 Things I would do:

1) use a MAC for every NIC
shutdown host to OBP
setenv local-mac-adress? true
boot

2) check the patches for ce Interfaces + Networking drivers such as ip stack, routing etc. (-> use "patchdiag" Tool from sunsolve.sun.com)

hme0 isn't being used.... and each nic has it's own mac..

I'll get someone else to look at the fixes suggested... I'm a remote person and not local...

Hi...
These messages can show up sometimes when you are in a switched Lan and it goes into a network loop. Then these messages appears (Ip conflict with the same Mac addres than the local NIC). Talk to your Network Admin.

jdespres,

Did you solved this issues ?

I have encountered the same issues as you,
I am a SunService Engineer in APAC, same issues
as your happened on multiple SunFire 15K domains,
Customer is bothered by multiple IP address conflicts
which happened between local Mac address and loacal IP
address, it is impossible, but it real happened !

I hope I can get some helps/hints from you !

Thanks and regards,
Willis
