Solaris Common Messages and Troubleshooting Guide

Cause

System fails to boot with this error message: ifconfig: bad address. When coming up to multi-user ifconfig -a, it indicates the following:


le0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0 
Once up, if this command succeeds, then all is well:

# ifconfig le0 inet hostname
