Hi sunmamangers,
 
 I need to configure a network interface on a machine running Solaris 8
with the following values:
 
inet: 192.168.14.8
netmask: 255.255.255.0
broadcast: 192.168.14.1
 

I may configure the interface easily with
 
# ifconfig ge1 inet 192.168.14.8 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast
192.168.14.1
 
but as soon as I take the interface up the broadcast address is
automatically set to 192.168.14.255
 
# ifconfig ge0 inet 192.168.14.8 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast
192.168.14.255 up
 

Should i make any changes in Firewall/router ?
 
Could you please advice ?
 
Thanks a lot in advance.

 
Regards,
Saravana babu
