Question : virtual IP address?

I am using Solaris 2.6 and working with the remote server of the said machine. I made a shell script to automatically setup 1500 virtual IP addresses for socket connections. But then as I try to logout with the said machine and try to login again, I cannot successfully login to the machine. But if I am going to remove all the IP addresses being setup, I can successfully login. Other utilities too like Telnet and remote login can be used.

So, how come that this problem occur when the physical address of the machine is still present in the system configuration?  Why?

Any comments, suggestions and answers are very welcome.



Answer : virtual IP address?

I agree, as Marou said that Unix indeed can create virtual IPs up to 8192.

From my experience, you can still connect to the server/telnet/rlogin if you use the "last Virtual IP" that you created. You may want to try it.

It might be caused by the routing table. Yes, you actually deleted the automatic entry when you add a virtual IP and we also did that.
****route delete -net 10.10.0.0 10.10.${CNTR2}.${CNTR1}

Let me ask you if you have turn on "IP forwarding"? You may use "ndd" for setting it.
