    Hi sunmamangers,
     
     I need to configure a network interface on a machine running Solaris 8
    with the following values:
     
    inet: 192.168.14.8
    netmask: 255.255.255.0
    broadcast: 192.168.14.1
     

    I may configure the interface easily with
     
    # ifconfig ge1 inet 192.168.14.8 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast
    192.168.14.1
     
    but as soon as I take the interface up the broadcast address is
    automatically set to 192.168.14.255
     
    # ifconfig ge0 inet 192.168.14.8 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast
    192.168.14.255 up
     

    Should i make any changes in Firewall/router ?
     
    Could you please advice ?
     
    Thanks a lot in advance.

     
    Regards,
    Saravana babu
