Preparing your network on Solaris
Before you configure the Policy Master on Solaris, you must configure your IP
addresses and NICs for a Solaris Policy Master installation. You must also
preserve the configuration across reboots.
Configuring your IP addresses and NICs for Solaris
To begin configuring your IP addresses and NICs for Solaris, connect to the
Policy Master system through the console.
To configure your IP addresses and NICs for Solaris
1 Configure test IP address on the base of each NIC. Do not use the
addif
command. Enter the following:
# ifconfig pm_nic plumb test_ip netmask netmask broadcast
+ deprecated -failover up
where
pm_nic
is the Policy Master NIC,
test_ip
is the IP address for that
NIC (and the IP address that you use to test your network connection), and
netmask
is your Policy Master netmask.
2 If you need additional IP addresses on the Policy Master NIC, such as host IP
addresses, you can plumb the other IP addresses. Enter the following:
#
ifconfig pm_nic addif additional_ip netmask netmask up
where
pm_nic
is the Policy Master NIC, and
additional_ip
is any
additional IP address you need to plumb, and
netmask
is your Policy
Master netmask.
