Sun Microsystems X1150A manual # ifconfig ce0 plumb ipaddress up

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:

#ifconfig ce0 plumb ip_address up

Refer to the ifconfig(1M) man page and the Solaris documentation for more information.

■If you want a set-up that will remain the same after you reboot, create an /etc/hostname.cenumber file, where number corresponds to the instance number of the ce interface you plan to use.

To use the adapter’s ce interface in the Step 1 example, create an /etc/hostname.ce0 file, where 0 is the number of the ce interface. If the instance number were 1, the filename would be

/etc/hostname.ce1.

■Do not create an /etc/hostname.cenumber file for a Sun GigaSwift Ethernet adapter interface you plan to leave unused.

■The /etc/hostname.cenumber file must contain the hostname for the appropriate ce interface.

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

/etc/hosts file.

■The host name should be different from any other host name of any other interface, for example: /etc/hostname.ce0 and /etc/hostname.ce1 cannot share the same host name.

The following example shows the /etc/hostname.cenumber file required for a system called zardoz that has a Sun GigaSwift Ethernet adapter (zardoz-11).

#cat /etc/hostname.hme0 zardoz

#cat /etc/hostname.ce0 zardoz-11
