I have the following problem while configuring the hme0 device on a SUN E450
server. The machine has the NIC on the mother board [hme0] two other NIC
cards
[hme1 and hme2 both configured under Veritas VCS for heartbeat] and a GiGaBit
card [ge0].
Whem I do the following ;
ifconfig hme0 plumb
ifconfig hme0 168.28.100.10
I get the following mac addresses!
red # ifconfig -a
ge0:flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2 inet
141.214.xxx.yyy netmask fffff000 broadcast 141.214.255.255 ether
0:3:ba:8:ad:ba
hme0: flags=1000842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 3 inet
168.28.100.10 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 168.28.255.255 ether 0:3:ba:8:ad:ba
When I do a ping -i hme0 -s 168.28.100.1 there are long pauses not only in the
ping [show's 63% packet loss] but in other processes too.
By doing the following the problem seems to be fixed?
ifconfig hme0 ether 0:3:ba:8:ad:bb
ifconfig hme0 168.28.100.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 168.28.100.255 up
My questions are;
1. How do I pick a new mac address so I don't stomp on another machine?
2. Where should these lines go? rcx.d? inet?
