The following example shows an /etc/hosts file with entries for the three network
interfaces used as examples in this procedure.

# Internet host table

8. Manually configure and enable each new interface using the ifconfig command.
For example, for the interface eri0, type:
# ifconfig e1000g0 plumb inet ip-address netmask ip-netmask .... up
For more information, see the ifconfig(1M) man page.
Note – The Sun Fire V445 server 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
establishing a connection between this system and your Ethernet hub, verify that the
hub also has the link test function enabled. Consult the manual provided with your
hub for more information about the link integrity test function.
After completing this procedure, any new network interfaces are ready for
operation. However, in order for other network devices to communicate with the
system through the new interface, the IP address and host name for each new
interface must be entered into the namespace on the network name server. For
information about setting up a network name service, consult:
Solaris Naming Configuration Guide for your specific Solaris release
■
The ce device driver for each of the system's on-board Sun Gigabit Ethernet
interfaces is automatically configured during Solaris installation. For information
about operating characteristics and configuration parameters for these drivers, refer
to the following document:

This document is available on the Solaris on Sun Hardware AnswerBook, which is
