Sun Microsystems 805-1797-10 manual Etc/hosts file

"/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@3,1" 7 "qfe"

In the example above, the four SUNW,qfe@x,1 instances are from a Sun Quad FastEthernet PCI adapter installed in slot 2. For clarity, the instance numbers are bold.

2.Create an /etc/hostname.qfe<num> file, where <num> corresponds to the instance number of each interface you plan to use.

If you wanted to use all of the adapter's interfaces in Step 1 on page 11's example, you would need to create four files:

Filename	Instance	Adapter Ethernet Channel (See
	Number	Figure 1–2)
/etc/hostname.qfe4	4	0
/etc/hostname.qfe5	5	1
/etc/hostname.qfe6	6	2
/etc/hostname.qfe7	7	3

Do not create /etc/hostname.qfe<num> files for Sun Quad FastEthernet

PCI adapter channels you plan to leave unused.

The /etc/hostname.qfe<num> file must contain the hostname for the appropriate network interface.

The host name should have an IP address and should be entered in the

4/etc/hosts file.

The host name should be different from any other host name of any other interface, for example: /etc/hostname.hme0 and /etc/hostname.qfe2 cannot share the same host name.

Using the instance examples in Step 1 on page 11, the following example shows the four /etc/hostname.qfe<num> files required for a system called zardoz that has a Sun Quad FastEthernet PCI adapter (zardoz-11, zardoz-12, zardoz-13, and zardoz-14).

#cat /etc/hostname.hme0 zardoz

#cat /etc/hostname.qfe4 zardoz-11

#cat /etc/hostname.qfe5 zardoz-12

#cat /etc/hostname.qfe6 zardoz-13

#cat /etc/hostname.qfe7 zardoz-14
