* Local IP addresses are not needed if they are assigned by a network DHCP server.

You might need the MAC (Ethernet) addresses of the local hosts to make nameserver database entries. The MAC address can be seen in the console output while booting to the ok prompt. It can also be derived from the host ID seen on the barcode label (see Section 1.7.1, “Part Number, Serial Number, and Revision Number Identification” on page 1-16).

3.5Configuring for 1-GbE or 10-GbE Switches

The Fabric interface on the Sun Netra CP3260 blade server is capable of operating at either 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps. The Sun Netra CP3260 can be used in the Netra CT 900 server with either the Sun Netra CP3240 10-GbE switch board or the Sun Netra CP3140 1-GbE switch board. Therefore it is important that the Solaris driver configuration file be configured accordingly on the Netra CP3260 blade server.
