Very Computer

Hello all !!

I have two nic on my E450....hme0 and hme1....

When a reboot my E450, the ifconfig -a result is :

ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 8232 index 1
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
hme0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
        inet 162.203.103.87 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 162.203.103.255
        ether 8:0:20:b1:4a:10
hme1: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 3
        inet 192.168.128.1 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.128.255
        ether 8:0:20:b1:4a:10

You see the ether is the same....but my problem is that both nic are in the
same Switch on different VLAN....so i need to do this command to make the
LAN working for my sunray...

ifconfig hme1 8:0:20:bd:52:16

I want to know where i can put a value for the ether to stay always
ok....after a reboot....no need to do the ifconfig command to make both LAN
working...

Is it in /etc/rc?.d/....  or it's possible to do some twik with the NIC to
remember is ether (mac) adress ???

Any help, hints will be appreciated !!!

Thank's in advance ...

A better way of doing what you are asking is setting the OpenBoot
variable local-mac-address? to true. You can do this from the command
line with:

/usr/sbin/eeprom local-mac-address? true

or in OpenBoot with:

setenv local-mac-address?=true

This will cause your Sun to use the MAC address on each card (which
will be different).

Halt the machine and at the OK prompt you type:

setenv local_mac_address? true

boot the machine, et voila!

Hi!

Quote:> /usr/sbin/eeprom local-mac-address? true

Wrong syntax. You need an equal sign and you have to escape the ?
(otherwise the shell will interpret it for filename substitution):

 /usr/bin/eeprom "local-mac-address?=true"
 /usr/bin/eeprom local-mac-address\?=true

both should work.

Quote:> or in OpenBoot with:

> setenv local-mac-address?=true

Wrong syntax: No '=' allowed here:

 setenv local-mac-address? true
