I was told that there is a new file /etc/inet/ipnodes thatis honored
under Solaris 10. Unfortunately changing this file did not solve my
problem. I finally made it, that "ifconfig -A" and "netstat -rn"
returned the expected results (even) after a reboot. However, the
interface did not work. I neither could ping out nor in. The interface
simply was dead.
I finally replaced the switch - which alone did not do the trick - and
then did sys-unconfig and started from scratch. This got me going!!!
There must be even more files that are honored. I learned from this
that changing ipaddresses under Solaris 10 is no easy task and does not
work very well (at least for me).
Thanks for all your responses!
Regards,
Andreas
