Stupid network question - adding second nic for inside network

Solaris 10 06/06

Server: V210

Has 4 nic's

Currently have the system setup with 1 nic setup and running to normal outside IP on a business network. Works find, no issues.

I want to use a second nic to allow connection to an internal 192.168.... network so that I can access it from a workstation inside.

IP would be 192.168.1.17 gateway 192.168.1.1

So...

ifconfig bge1 plumb up

ifconfig 192.168.1.17 netmask 255.255.255.0

ifconfig -ashows...

bge1: flags=1000803<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 4

inet 192.168.1.17 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255

ether 0:3:ba:5a:5c:52

netstat -rnshows....

Routing Table: IPv4

DestinationGatewayFlags RefUseInterface

-- -- -- --

XXX.XXX.176.160XXX.XXX.176.162U 1806 bge0

192.168.1.0 192.168.1.17 U 12 bge1

224.0.0.0XXX.XXX.176.162U 10 bge0

default XXX.XXX.176.161UG1 334165

127.0.0.1127.0.0.1UH5142 lo0

Note: the xxx.xxx... interface is the working main interface to the outside world.

I can ping the 192.168.1.17 which is the nic in the server, but can't ping say the gateway 192.168.1.1

Seems like I need a default route for it, but I already have a default for the normal network.

Clue as to what I am overlooking.

Note: this is in the global zone. I plan on letting a zone access this as well.

Odd, i would expect the ifconfig -a output from the bge1 interface to contain "RUNNING", such as.bge0: flags=1100843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2Are you certain the card got link? And that the router is pingable? .7/M.

Turned out to be a bad switch.Replaced with a spare and everything lit up. Thanks... was hunting down the wrong tree.
