Summary: Solaris 7, wrong Broadcast addr on QFE card
2007-12-25 0:38:00
And thanks especially to Steven Haywood who helped me spot the
mistake.
An interesting one at that, this server is a firewall running FW1,
When I configured the interfaces, I took the external IP from the
License info
(I cut & pasted the whole lot, then used the IP in the lisence to
configure the card)
This one was a knock on mistake, traced back to a Checkpoint typo.
So I am gonna have to contack Checpoint and get them to correct the
lisence also.
The moral of this one is....
Never trust that someone else got it right, if you want to be sure....
check it yourself !
(Oh, and always keep your e-mails that request changes, then you can
prove to wasn't you ;-) )
Thanks again, this list is so fast......

Hi,
This one is bugging me...
I have a multi homed host, connected to three networks as follows,
13.14.116.0 255.255.252.0
13.14.233.0 255.255.255.0
193.129.65.208 255.255.255.240
Ifconfig output shows two of the broadcast addresses are wrong.
# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 8232
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
qfe0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 193.219.65.209 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 193.219.65.255
ether 8:0:20:e2:2b:74
qfe1: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 13.14.116.29 netmask fffffc00 broadcast 13.14.119.255
ether 8:0:20:e2:2b:75
qfe2: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 13.14.233.1 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 13.14.233.255
ether 8:0:20:e2:2b:76
/etc/host shows:
193.219.65.209 msxgbgw2 loghost
13.14.233.1 msxgbdmz-1
13.14.116.29 msxgbint
/etc/hostname.qfe0
msxgbgw2
/etc/hostname.qfe1
msxgbint
/etc/hostname.qfe2
msxgbdmz-1
I have checked how the server calls ifconfig at boot,
/etc/rc2.d/S72inetsvc shows
/usr/sbin/ifconfig -au netmask + broadcast +
So I would expect the broadcast address to be calculated based on the
netmask.
Does anyone know why the Broadcast addresses are wrong?
Cheers,
Simon
