I'm having a problem with setting the correct values in /etc/netmasks on
a Solaris 8 system. We are moving it from a non-segmented subnet
(131.104.96.0) to an IP address (131.104.91.102) in a VLAN on the
131.104.91.0 subnet with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.224.
Old netmasks file
131.104.96.0 255.255.255.0
New netmasks file
131.104.91.0 255.255.255.224
The subnet mask is correct for the VLAN.
When I reboot the system after moving the ethernet cable to the new
subnet, I find the following settings for the interface using ifconfig:
IP address: 131.104.91.102 (correct)
Netmask: 255.255.0.0 (not correct, should be 255.255.255.224)
Broadcast: 131.104.255.255 (not correct, should be 131.104.91.127)
I manually corrected the problem by issuing the following command for
the interface eri0 after the system was rebooted
ifconfig eri0 netmask + broadcast +
This works, but I need these values set correctly when the system boots up.
Any ideas? Is my syntax incorrect in the new /etc/netmasks file?
Thanks - will summarise to the list.
