Thanks to Angelos Kanellopoulos and Kendall Lloyd for their quick responses. The way to detect it was to plumb each of the interfaces in turn and then snoop for packets on the wire. For instance, # ifconfig qfe0 plumb # snoop -d qfe0 >From this I was able to detect the link. Thanks, again. -----Original Message----- From: sunmanagers-bounces@sunmanagers.org [mailto:sunmanagers-bounces@sunmanagers.org] On Behalf Of Brian Lucas Sent: Wednesday, February 23, 2005 9:40 AM To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org Subject: Network Interface Gurus, Is there anyway to know on a remote server which network interface has a cable plugged into it if that interface has never been configured before? I have a remote server (never seen before) that a user says he has plugged a network cable into and would like configured. Under /dev, I see hme, ge, and qfe. ge0 is currently configured and everything else isn't. Anyway to sense the network cable? Much respect, Brian _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagers _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Wed Feb 23 12:07:42 2005
