Thanks for the reply. It worked. I had extra blank line in /etc/
hostname.bge1 and /etc/inet/netmasks files.

I'm employing 254 hosts in this subnet, and that should be a
10.1.1.0/24 network with netmask 255.255.255.0. Thinking that network
as Class A (private), I used the default netmask 255.255.0.0
previously. Now, both works.

# cat /etc/netmasks
10.1.1.0 255.255.0.0

Thanks for that. I didn't mark that previously.

You are right here. Deleting the blank lines made it work.

# ifconfig -a
bge2: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500
index 3
inet 10.1.1.2 netmask ff000000 broadcast 10.255.255.255
ether x:x:xx:xx:xx:xx

Thanks for that.


Thanks all of you once again.
