Hi, I'm trying to switch my Solaris 10 box from DHCP to static IP. It worked out of the box with DHCP. I've read through the forums and googled, and I think I'm almost there, but not quite.
My network interface is bge0; the desired IP is 192.168.2.5 with hostname server2; and the router is 192.168.0.1.
So far, what I've done is:
- Renamed /etc/dhcp.bge0 to /etc/dhcp.bge0.backup
- Added the line "192.168.2.5 server2" to both /etc/hosts and /etc/inet/ipnodes, and deleted the line generated by dhcp.
- Made a new file '/etc/nodename' and put the word server2 in it.
- Made a new file /etc/defaultrouter' and put the router address 192.168.0.1 in it.
- Edited the empty file '/etc/hostname.bge0' and put the address 192.168.2.5 in it.
After rebooting, 'ifconfig bge0' gives the following output
bge0: flags=1000843<up, BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 192.168.2.5 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255 ether 0:1b:24:1d:f3:1c
Thanks for any help!
Edit: Changed some wording, added output of ifconfig
