Network Configuration
This section describes how to edit the network host files after the adapter has been
installed on your system.

Configuring the Network Host Files

After installing the driver software, you must create a hostname.vcaNfile for the
adapter’s Ethernet interface. Note that in the file name hostname.vcaN,N
corresponds to the instance number of the vca interface you plan to use. Youmust
also create both an IP address and a host name for its Ethernet interface in the
/etc/hosts file.
1. Locate the correct vca interfaces and instance numbers in the
/etc/path_to_inst file.
Refer to the online manual pages for path_to_inst(4).
The instance number in the previous example is 0.
2. Use the ifconfig(1M) command to set up the adapter’s vca interface.
Use the ifconfig command to assign an IP address to the network interface. Type
the following at the command line, replacing ip_address with the adapter’s IP
address:
Note – In the examples in this section, Nspecifies the instance number of the
device.
Refer to the ifconfig(1M) online manual page and the Solaris documentation for
more information.
■If you want a setup that will remain the same after you reboot, createan
/etc/hostname.vcaNfile, where Ncorresponds to the instance number of the
vca interface you plan to use.
#grep vca /etc/path_to_inst
"/pci@8,600000/network@1" 0 "vca"
#ifconfig vcaN plumb ip_address up
