▼To Start a Network Interface Manually

1.Use the ifconfig command with the appropriate interface.

For example, to enable an FCIP interface associated with fp instance 0 and an IP address of 192.9.201.10, you would use the following command:

#ifconfig fcip0 plumb 192.9.201.10 netmask 255.255.255.0

The ifconfig command is described in more detail in the ifconfig (1M)manpage. Ask your network administrator for an appropriate IP address and netmask information.

2.Use the command ifconfig -ato verify the network is up. The output of ifconfig -ashould look like this:

lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 8232 index 1

inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000 fcip0: flags=1001843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,MULTI_BCAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2

inet 192.9.201.10 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.9.201.255 ether 0:e0:8b:1:3c:f7

hme0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index

3

inet 192.9.200.70 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.9.200.255 ether 8:0:20:fc:e9:49

Usage

Any standard network commands can be used after FCIP is attached. There will not be any usage differences when these commands (telnet, ping, or ftp) are used in an Ethernet setup or FC network setup.
