Problem Description Solution
prtdiag does not
recognizethe NIC in
slot 0.
Ifa PCI I/O board of an UltraSPARC III system is filled
with network adapters with an internal bridge (for
example, GigaSwift Ethernet or Quad FastEthernet),
prtdiag displays the cardon slot 0. Although the card
in slot 1 is not recognizedby prtdiag, the card is fully
operational and appears in the/etc/path_to_inst
file.
Use prtconf -pv
instead of prtdiag
VLAN appears to
accept VID 0 as end
user input.
ce000000,ce00000, or ce0000 configuredas VID 0
is actually the regular ce0 interface not VID 0of the
ce0 interface. VID 0is not supported as an end user
device.
This is normal behavior.
