2. Place the appropriate adapter host name into the hostname.vge file(s).
The /etc/hostname.vge<num> file must contain the appropriate host name for
the adapter.
The host name should be different from the host name of any other interface. For
example, /etc/hostname.vge0 and /etc/hostname.vge1 cannot share the same
host name.
The following example depicts the host name files required for a machine called
zardoz, with four adapters known as zardoz-11, zardoz-12, zardoz-13, and
zardoz-14 on the networks connected to the vge0, vge1, vge2, and vge3 Ethernet
devices.
zardoz # cat /etc/hostname.vge0
zardoz-11
zardoz # cat /etc/hostname.vge1
zardoz-12
zardoz # cat /etc/hostname.vge2
zardoz-13
zardoz # cat /etc/hostname.vge3
zardoz-14
3. For each host name, enter the appropriate IP address in the /etc/hosts file.
4. Create the /etc/vlan.vge<num> file(s).
One corresponding vlan.vge<num> file is needed for each /etc/
hostname.vge<num> file created in the previous steps (one for each VLAN being
configured for each adapter on the server). Create files using the following naming
format:
<num>
/etc/vlan.vge
For each file, the number <num> in the filename is determined according to
. For example, the first adapter requires a file named /etc/vlan.vge0 for
TABLE 3-2
its first VLAN, and a file named /etc/vlan.vge100 for its second VLAN.
