Thanks to all replied. And the answer from Darren Dunham is exactly what I am looking for. Answer: ------------------------------------------------- Sol 7 and below. plumb/unplumb only refer to the main device. ifconfig an address to use the virtual interface ifconfig the address 0 and down to kill the virtual interface. Sol 8 and above. Virtual interfaces now act more like real interfaces. Must plumb/unplumb to appear/disappear. unplumbing a virtual does not affect the base --------------------------------------------------- Original question: -------------------------------------------------- Has anyone experienced this with solaris 7 before? hme0 is a working interface. "ifconfig hme0:1 plumb" to plumb the virtual interface, but "ifconfig -a" doesn't show hme0:1 device "ifconfig hme0:1 unplumb" brings down the working hme0 as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------ James Zhao Email: james@bdc.cv.net _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Thu Oct 31 16:46:07 2002
