I would like to find out the number of IP addresses that can be assigned to a single
Ethernet card.

I am currently running Solaris 2.5 on a Sun Ultra Netra. It presently has only 1
Ethernet card (le0) and I have assigned a Class C IP to it ie. 202.202.202.10. I have no
problems assigning extra IPs(ie. 202.202.202.11) to it using the ifconfig command
without any problems. However, I do not know if there is a limit to assigning IP
adddress in such a fashion.

Any response is very much appreciated.

Regards,

A guy at a local ISP here says the limit is 254 on Solaris 2.5.
Is this right?

255 max, after that you've got to rush out and buy more ethernet cards.
