Networking Bugs

The following Networking bugs apply to the Solaris 9 9/05 HW release.

SPARC: Unable to Set "per-instance" Specific Properties on Built-in bge Interfaces By Means of bge.conf File (6463210)

Setting “per-instance” parameters in bge.conf file panics the system. The following error message is displayed:

ifconfig: trap type = 0x31
               addr=0x10 

Workaround: Use ndd to set per-instance parameters of bge driver after boot-time.

Configuring Multiple Tunnels Between Two IP Nodes With Filtering Enabled Might Result in Packet Loss (4152864)

If you configure multiple IP tunnels between two IP nodes, and enable ip_strict_dst_multihoming or other IP filters, packet loss might result.

Workaround: Choose one of the following:

• First, configure a single tunnel between the two IP nodes. Add addresses to the tunnel by using the ifconfig command with the addif option.

• Do not enable ip_strict_dst_multihoming on tunnels between two IP nodes.
