Configuring Network in Sun (Oracle) Solaris 10

In order to enable Networking in Sun Solaris 10, first we have to assign IP address.


bash

cat /etc/hostname.e1000g0

<if DHCP enabled NIC card, there is no IP address>

create DefaultDomain file

cat /etc/inet/networks
 
   172.16.0.0/255.255.0.0

<Only update if subnetting used>

cat /etc/hosts

172.16.0.2 pc1

netstat -D     : DHCP config for all nics
ifconfig -a     : config for all nics

ifconfig e1000g0 dhcp status

<shows dhcp status>

cd /etc

ls -ltr hostname.e1000g0

ps -ef |grep -i agent
/sbin/dhcpagent

netstat -rn

cat hostname.e1000g0

echo "192.168.1.1" > hostname.e1000g0 && echo $?

cat hostname.e1000g0

echo "linux.com" > /etc/defaultdomian

gedit /etc/inet/networks

192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0

gedit /etc/hosts

192.168.1.2 pc1

gedit /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 8.8.8.8

<default router is given by DHCP, so no file>

ls -ltr /etc/defaultrouter

gedit /etc/defaultrouter
192.168.1.1

reboot


restart to make changes


<If there is no Internet Connectivity, edit the following>

gedit /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts : files dns
