Hi Managers !
I'm having problems with NetRAIN on our GS140's and GS160's. The problem
exists on both 4.0F and 4.0G.
During boot the NIC seams to be busy (please check misc. below), and the
network doesn't startup.
We are using Cisco Gigabit VLAN equipment.
I have temporarily fixed the problem by adding the "ifconfig <NIC> down"
lines in the /etc/inet.local file.
# Examples of things to put in here would be pfconfig,
# adding aliases for existing IP addresses, etc.
#
echo "Starting local Internet services."
ifconfig alt0 down
ifconfig alt1 down
ifconfig nr0 182.30.2.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 add alt0,alt1
Apparently there are misc. documented ways of getting NetRAIN configured
depending on which manual or note you read.
Does anyone have an official solution for this problem ???
Boot :
.
.

alt0: Driver Rev = V1.0.12, Chip Rev = 6, Firmware Rev = 11.3.2
alt0: Link up Autonegotiated ReceiveFlowControl
.
.
alt1 at pci2 slot 2
alt1: DEGPA Gigabit Ethernet Interface, hardware address: 00-60-6D-21-1E-4D
alt1: Driver Rev = V1.0.12, Chip Rev = 6, Firmware Rev = 11.3.2
