ISSUE: Solaris 10 Can't Find the 2'ND Interface

Things happened with me that when you have a server or a virtual machine "like VMWare" during the setup for the VM you may add a second interface, so after clean installation I didn't see the second interface,
Normally first interface name: e1000g0

so after write the command ifconfig -a show this output:

bash-3.00# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849 mtu 8232 index 1
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000 


e1000g0: flags=1000843 mtu 1500 index 2
        inet 192.168.1.110 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
        ether 0:c:29:f9:0:9b  



so HOW TO show your second interface:



 command that most of people don't know it:
    dladm show-link                # datalink admin show what is connected



bash-3.00# dladm show-link
e1000g0         type: non-vlan  mtu: 1500       device: e1000g0
e1000g1         type: non-vlan  mtu: 1500       device: e1000g1


after we see the second interface you may write:

# ifconfig e1000g1 plumb

ifconfig -a command should show following type of output which means device is enabled and is ready to configure ip address and netmask :

e1000g1: flags=842 mtu 1500
inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0
ether 3:22:11:6d:2e:1f

Configuring ipaddress and netmask and making the interface status as up .

#ifconfig e1000g1 192.9.2.106 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

That's it

Regards.
