▼ Create Driver Instance Files (Oracle
Solaris 10)
Use this procedure to configure the network host files permanently. The new settings
will be restored at each reboot.
1. Create a file named /etc/hostname.ixgbe# for each ixgbe(7D) interface.
where # is the interface's instance number. In the new files, only insert a text
hostname, then save and exit.
2. Edit the /etc/hosts file to include an IP address and host name for each
ixgbe(7D) interface (that is, for each /etc/hostname.ixgbe# file).
3. Boot the Oracle Solaris 10 OS.
Now the ixgbe(7D) interfaces will be plumbed up automatically when you boot.

▼ Configure the Network Host Files
(Oracle Solaris 10)
Use this procedure to configure the network host files dynamically on the command
line. At reboot, the settings will revert.
1. Create a file named /etc/hostname.ixgbe# for each ixgbe(7D) interface.
where # is the ixgbe(7D) interface instance number you plan to use.
For example, to bring up ixgbe0 at boot, create a file called
/etc/hostname.ixgbe0, where 0 is the number of the ixgbe(7D) interface. If
the instance number were 1, the file name would be /etc/hostname.ixgbe1.
The /etc/hostname.ixgbe# file must contain the host name for the appropriate
ixgbe(7D) interface.
