Clear DayHi System Admin,
Unfortunately I'm not familiar with Solaris network. I am current installing
Oracle Application Server R2 on two Solaris Sparc (64 bits) boxes each has
one NIC. Part of the configuration for Application Cluster will need to fill
in "multicast address" and "multicast Port".
I have read thro SUN Online document & found something about Multicast IP in
the following (IPv6 - multicast IP) :
http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/806-0916/6ja8539ba
Following the instruction there, I'm able to enable IPv6 multicast & ping
from either machine using the IPv6 IP. The "ifconfig -a" output as follow :
suneoc:root >ifconfig -a inet6
lo0: flags=2000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6> mtu 8252 index 1
inet6 ::1/128
eri0: flags=2000841<UP,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6> mtu 1500 index 2
inet6 fe80::203:baff:fe0b:455f/10
eri0:1: flags=2000841<UP,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6> mtu 1500 index 2
inet6 ::/0
eri0:3: flags=2000840<RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6> mtu 1500 index 2
inet6 ::/0
My question, how do I :
- enable multicast capability in this two boxes?
- configure a specific IP and Port for Multicast? Multicast port suppose to
be 240.0.0.0 - 239.255.255.255, but I got these funny
"fe80::203:baff:fe0b:455f" address, how do I map them?
- am I moving on the right direction?
Please advise. Any direction will be really appreciated. Thx you.
Cheers. KH.
