Sun Microsystems Enterprise 250 Owner's Manual page 192

Note – If you have installed a PCI card as a second Ethernet interface, the operating
system asks you to select a primary network interface and then prompts you for its
host name and IP address. You must configure the second interface separately, after
the operating system is installed. See "How to Add an Ethernet Interface" on
page 175.
Note – This system conforms to the Ethernet 10/100BASE-T standard, which states
that the Ethernet 10BASE-T link integrity test function should always be enabled on
both the host system and the Ethernet hub. If you have problems verifying
connection between this system and your hub, verify that the Ethernet hub also has
the link test function enabled. See "Network Communications Failure" on page 254
and refer to the manual provided with your hub for more information about the link
integrity test function.
What Next
After completing this procedure, the Ethernet interface is ready for operation.
However, in order for other network devices to communicate with the system, your
network administrator must enter the system's IP address and host name into the
namespace on the network name server. For information about setting up a network
name service, consult the Solaris System Administrator AnswerBook for your specific
Solaris release.
The hme Fast Ethernet device driver for the system's standard Ethernet interface is
automatically installed with the Solaris release. For information about operating
characteristics and configuration parameters for the hme driver, please see Platform
Notes: The hme Fast Ethernet Device Driver. This document is available on Solaris on
Sun Hardware AnswerBook, which is provided on the SMCC Supplement CD for the
Solaris release you are running.
If you want to install an additional network interface by means of a PCI card, you
must configure it separately, after installing the operating system; see:
