Host File Configuration
After installing the Sun QuadFastEthernet driver software, you must create a
hostname.hme<num> file for the adapter's Ethernet interfaces. You must also
create both an IP address and a host name for its Ethernet interfaces in the
/etc/hosts file.
To prepare your system for the Sun Quad FastEthernet SBus Adapter:
1. At the command line, use the grep command to search the
/etc/path_to_inst file for hme devices.
# grep hme /etc/path_to_inst
"/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,hme@e,8c00000" 0 "hme"
"/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,hme@1,8c10000" 2 "hme"
"/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,hme@0,8c00000" 5 "hme"
"/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,hme@1,8c00000" 1 "hme"
"/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,hme@1,8c30000" 4 "hme"
"/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,hme@1,8c20000" 3 "hme"
In the example above, the SUNW,hme@e instance is the on-board
FastEthernet device, the SUNW,hme@0 instance is a FastEthernet adapter
installed in SBus slot 0, and the four SUNW,hme@1 instances are from a Sun
Quad FastEthernet SBus Adapter installed in slot 1. For clarity, the instance
numbers are bold.
2. Create an /etc/hostname.hme<num> file, where <num> corresponds to
the instance number of each interface you plan to use.
If you wanted to use all of the adapter's interfaces in Step 1's example, you
would need to create four files:
Filename
/etc/hostname.hme1
/etc/hostname.hme2
/etc/hostname.hme3
/etc/hostname.hme4
