Solaris + Switches + VLANs = wtf?

[Timothy Hildred]

> If you are ON that subnet directly with an interface, what do you need a
gateway (on that subnet FOR that subnet) for?

I am only ON that subnet in theory; i set a static IP on that subnet.

 >Can you ping 172.XX.236.21? What exactly is the problem, you cant access
ANY resources on that subnet?

I cannot ping .21 from any other boxes on the 172 subnet, nor can i access
any resources on the 172 subnet from the solaris box that i have statically
assigned .21 on that 172 subnet

>Can you post the interface config?

sure:
bash-3.00# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232
index 1
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
bnx0: flags=1000803<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
        inet 172.XX.236.21 netmask fffffe00 broadcast 172.XX.237.255
        ether 0:1c:c4:6a:bb:10
e1000g0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 3
        inet 192.168.X15.13 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.X15.255
        ether 0:1b:78:5d:c9:1e
e1000g1: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 4
        inet 192.168.X16.13 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.X16.255
        ether 0:1b:78:5d:c9:1f

One thing that is obvious here is that the RUNNING flag is not set on the
interface in question. I don't know if thats because it has been incorrectly
configured, or because it has not connection.
