How to bring up ethernet interface on solaris 11

edited Mar 13, 2014 12:15PM in Oracle Solaris System Administration (MOSC) 8 commentsAnswered ✓

Dear all,

I have a new solaris 11 installed on my Sparc T4-1B.

During the peinstalled Sollaris 11 configuration, I have configured the net0 interface and I can see it in ifconf -a output.

net0: flags=1000803<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 3

        inet 192.168.33.42 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.33.255

        ether 0:10:e0:2a:de:d8

But in dladm show-phys the interface status is down

LINK          MEDIA            STATE  SPEED  DUPLEXDEVICE
net1          Ethernet         unknown0  unknown   igb1
net8          Ethernet         up     10 full  usbecm2
net2          Ethernet         unknown0  unknown   ixgbe0
net0          Ethernet         down   0  unknown   igb0
net5          Ethernet         unknown0  unknown   ixgbe3
net3          Ethernet         unknown0  unknown   ixgbe1
net4          Ethernet         unknown0  unknown   ixgbe2

Howdy, Stranger!
