cannot configure dmfe1 on Netra X1
Here is the scenario:
Sever: Netra X1
interfaces: dmfe0,dmfe1
dmfe0: is working fine (this interface is connected to internet provider)
dmfe1: not present once the system is up (local lan to share the internet connection)
I'm trying to configure dmfe1 interface on Netra X1.
The system recognizes the dmfe1 interface (boot time), but once the system is up , I can't see the interface
in fact if you type ifconfig -a the dmfe1 is not
present
The file hostname.dmfe1 exists and the ip address exists in file hosts.
so, if I try to configure the interface using ifconfig I receive "no such interface"
Any idea???
I'm offering all the points I have left.

liddler
when u try and configure dmfe1 what command do you use?
did you plumb it in before u configured it?
ifconfig plumb dmfe1
ifconfig plumb dmfe1

To liddler:
I didn´t use ifconfig plumb dmfe1, I just used ifconfig dmfe1.....
My question is: shouldn´t do it (ifconfig plumb dmfe1) at boot time??

Throwing in some "fyi" for ifconfig...
...did you know that using "netmask +" and "broadcast +" will assign the default netmask and broadcast for the first octet's traditional class (A, B, C.) That would be something good to know if you just happen to be looking at a Solaris 8 Network Administrator certification...
