Courtesy of a Sun v120.
Use the following to determine the mac addresses of each interface
ok>devalias
The command above returns the following
rootdisk /pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@8/disk@0,0
lom /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ebus@c/SUNW,lomh@14,200000
dload /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/network@c,1:,
net2 /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/network@5,1
net /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/network@c,1
{truncate}
Then you can cd to the path for either net or net2 and run the following command
ok> .properties
This command returns the following for mac address
local-mac-address 00 03 ba 96 38 c0
In this case I was working to troubleshoot a jumpstart install, so I needed to see what mac address was being presented externally.
ok>printenv
printenv reveals that local mac address is set to true which means that each network interface presents it own mac. Being that I was plugged into nic 0 on this box i am also able to boot like so.
ok boot /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/network@c,1:dhcp – install
Being specific in this way, I am taking any way chance that I have the mac address incorrect, or am plugged into the correct ethernet port.
I can verify which port has my link by doing the following from the ok prompt
ok watch-net
Internal loopback test — succeeded.
Link is — up
Looking for Ethernet Packets.
‘.’ is a Good Packet. ‘X’ is a Bad Packet.
Type any key to stop.
…………
If I try this on net2 is see that this link is down
ok watch-net2
Internal loopback test — succeeded.
Link is — down
