Dedicated Gigabit link between v880s
I would like to set up the ge interface on two v880's to be a dedicated gigabit link between them. However, I am having problems getting the link up. Here are the steps I have taken (on both servers):
1. connected ge interfaces with 50/125 fiber cable
2. vi /etc/hostname.ge0
3. vi /etc/hosts
4. ifconfig plumb ge0
5. ifconfig ge0 inet 192.168.10.x netmask 255.255.255.0 up
Following this, I can ping the local interface on each server, but I cannot ping the interface across the fiber. Here is the output of my ifconfig -a:
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
eri0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 10.0.100.33 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 10.0.100.255
ether 0:3:ba:44:b1:f4
ge0: flags=1000803<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 9
inet 192.168.10.2 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.10.255
ether 0:3:ba:44:b1:f5
I notice that "RUNNING" is not present in the flags for the ge0 interface on either server. Should this be reason for concern. I have not done a reboot of the servers, but I don't think that should be necessary since these servers should have dynamic config.
Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?
