Hello,
thanks to everyone who replied.
Seems that the hardware of my hme cards is old and does not have a
own unique ip address.
I did reset (even hardware powered off) the E4500 after doing the
local-mac-address?=true setting, with no effect.
Now i use this script, i found in another mail on this list to set
the MAC address during boot up:
root@sun01:~ > cat /etc/init.d/setmacaddr
#!/bin/sh
for iface in 1 2 3; do
if [ -f /etc/hostname.hme${iface} ]
then
ether_hme=`/sbin/ifconfig hme0 | /bin/tail -1 |\
/bin/sed -e "s/8:0:20/8:${iface}:20/g"`
/sbin/ifconfig hme${iface} ${ether_hme}
fi
done
Works fine so far :)
Christian Braun.
