I just changed the IP address of ixgbe0 like so

ipadm delete-if ixgbe0
dladm set-linkprop -p mtu=9000 ixgbe0
ipadm create-if ixgbe0
ipadm create-addr -T static -a 10.10.47.46/16 ixgbe0/v4static

and normally I would do svcadm restart network to active the change, but that would also restart ixgbe2, and that may not be interrupted.

I am using OmniOS which is based on Solaris 10.

Question

Is it possible to restart just ixgbe0?

svcadm restart network will not affect the operation of ixgbe2 - I have done this many times on live and test systems running solaris 10 and 11 and never had a problem.

What I don't get it why are you restarting the network service after doing this, just run dladm show-linkprop -p mtu "datalink" and it should show the new MTU in affect

  • With the command you posted, I see the properties of the NIC interface. But I can still not connect to it from a different host. Aug 8, 2014 at 13:25
  • run dladm show-ether ixgbe0 is should look something like this net0 current up yes 1G-f bi also is the host you are connecting from have an mtu of 9000

  • Yes, taht is what I get. It is MTU 9000. Aug 8, 2014 at 13:32
  • dladm show-link ixgbe0 does this display an MTU of 9000, if it doesn't then run the svcadm restart network/physical as i said above this should not interrupt the operation of your other NICs

  • Now I understand why you are asking about the MTU 9000. Because it is not default. I'll try restart after working hours, just to be sure =) Aug 8, 2014 at 13:42
