How To Resolve Issue With Main Server Failure To Ping


Run the following from the command line for your account to try and resolve this issue.

We can see the interface isn’t raised.
[dl-572-## ~]# ifconfig | grep 68.169.35.##
[dl-572-## ~]#

Next, we check /etc/ips to see if it's configured correctly:

[dl-572-## ~]# grep 68.169.35.## /etc/ips
68.169.35.##:255.255.255.0:68.169.35.255

It is, so we can try using the ipaliases script to bring it up

/etc/init.d/ipaliases restart

[dl-572-## ~]# ifconfig | grep 68.169.35.##
inet addr:68.169.35.##  Bcast:68.169.35.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

Now it should be back up.

If it wasn’t in /etc/ips then you could just manually add an entry for it and use the ipaliases script to bring it up.
