Attributes for Solaris

Required attributes for Solaris

Required attribute

Description

Address 

A virtual IP address, different from the base IP address, which is associated with the interface. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Example: 192.203.47.61 

Example: "192.203.47.61" 

 

Device 

The name of the NIC device that is associated with the IP address. Requires the device name without an alias. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Example: bge0 

Example: "le0" 

 

Optional attributes for Solaris

Optional attribute

Description

ArpDelay 

The number of seconds to sleep between configuring an interface and sending out a broadcast to inform routers about this IP address. 

Type and dimension: integer-scalar 

Default: 1 

 

ContainerName 

Non-global zone support for Solaris 10 and later. Defines the name of the non-global zone. 

See the Veritas Cluster Server User's Guide for more information. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Example: zone1 

 

IfconfigTwice 

Causes an IP address to be configured twice using an ifconfig up-down-up sequence. Increases the probability of gratuitous ARP requests (generated by ifconfig up) to reach clients. 

Type and dimension: integer-scalar 

 

NetMask 

The subnet mask that is associated with the IP address of the resource. Specify the value of the netmask in decimal (base 10) or hexadecimal (base 16). 

Symantec recommends that you specify a netmask for each virtual interface. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Default: + 

If you do not specify the netmask in the ifconfig command, the agent uses a default netmask that is based on the contents of the
/etc/netmasks path for a given address range. 

The default is 255.0.0.0 if the ifconfig command is executed without a netmask argument. 

Example: 255.255.248.0 

Example: "255.255.248.0" 

 

Options 

Options for the ifconfig command. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Example: trailers 

Example: "trailers" 

 

RouteOptions 

String to add a route when configuring an interface. Use only when configuring the local host as the default gateway.  

The string contains destination gateway metric. No routes are added if this string is set to NULL. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Example: default 166.98.16.103 0 

Example: "default 166.98.16.103 0"
