the operating system software is installed. For more information, see the
installation instructions accompanying the Solaris software.
2. Determine the IP address for the interface.
An IP address must be assigned by your network administrator. Each interface on
a network must have a unique IP address.
3. Boot the operating system and log on to the system as superuser.
Enter the following command at the system prompt, and the superuser password:
zardoz # su
Password:
4. Create an appropriate /etc/hostname file for the new interface.
The name of the file you create should be of the form /etc/hostname.typenum,
where type is the Ethernet type identifier (some common types are hme, le, nf,
and ie) and num is the logical number of the interface according to the order in
which it was installed in the system.
For example, the standard interface provided on the system's main logic board is
hme0 (type = hme, num = 0). If you add a SunSwift
a second hme interface, the file name should be hostname.hme1.
Note -
The documentation accompanying the Ethernet interface should identify
its type. Alternatively, you can enter the show-devs command from the ok
prompt to obtain a list of all installed devices.
The host name has an associated IP address that you enter in the /etc/hosts
file. See Step 6.
5. Enter the host name, assigned in Step 1, to the /etc/hostname file for the
new interface.
Following is an example of the /etc/hostname files required for a machine
called zardoz, which has two Ethernet interfaces—the standard on-board
Ethernet interface (hme0) and a second interface provided by a PCI Ethernet
adapter card (hme1). The host name will be zardoz to a network connected to
the standard hme0 interface, and zardoz-1 to a network connected to the hme1
interface.
zardoz # cat /etc/hostname.hme0
zardoz
zardoz # cat /etc/hostname.hme1
zardoz-1
6. Create an entry in the /etc/hosts file for each active Ethernet interface.
