I love ipadm. It rocks. Much needed for Solaris and derivatives. I seem to keep forgetting the dam new ipadm commands tho. So I wrote this script to help me set up new Solaris machines and thought I would share.

[bash]
#!/usr/bin/bash

INTERFACE=$1
ADDRESS=$2
GATEWAY=$3

V6AUTO=1

errorCheck()
{
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "ERROR: $@"
exit 69
fi
}

# Handle Args
if [ $# -ne 3 ]; then
echo "ERROR: Invalid arguments"
echo "Usage:nt$0: INTERFACE ADDRESS/CIDR-MASK GATEWAY/DEFAULTROUTER"
exit 1
fi

ipadm create-if $INTERFACE
errorCheck "Unable to create-if $INTERFACE"

ipadm create-addr -T static -a local=${ADDRESS} ${INTERFACE}/v4static
errorCheck "Unable to set static v4 on $INTERFACE"

if [ $V6AUTO -ne 0 ]; then
ipadm create-addr -T addrconf ${INTERFACE}/v6addr
errorCheck "Unable to set v6 autoconf on $INTERFACE"
fi

if [ $GATEWAY != "" ]; then
route add default $GATEWAY
errorCheck "Unable to set default router to $GATEWAY"
else
echo "!--> Not setting gateway as none was set ..."
fi

echo "--> Finished setting $ADDRESS on $INTERFACE with $GATEWAY default route ..."
[/bash]
