26 Sun GigaSwift Ethernet Adapter Installation and User’s Guide • August 2004
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:
Refer to the
ifconfig
(1M) man page and the Solaris documentation for more
information.
■
If you want a setup that remains the same after you reboot, create an
/etc/hostname.ce
number 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.ce
number file for a Sun GigaSwift Ethernet
adapter interface you plan to leave unused.
■
The
/etc/hostname.ce
number file must contain the host name for the
appropriate
ce
interface.
■
The host name must have an IP address listed in the
/etc/hosts
file.
■
The host name must 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.ce
number file required for a
system called
zardoz
that has a Sun GigaSwift Ethernet adapter (
zardoz-11)
.
3. Create an appropriate entry in the
/etc/hosts
file for each active
ce
interface.
For example:
# ifconfig ce0 plumb
ip-address
up
# cat /etc/hostname.hme0
zardoz
# cat /etc/hostname.ce0
zardoz-11
# cat /etc/hosts
#
# Internet host table
#
127.0.0.1 localhost
129.144.10.57 zardoz loghost
129.144.11.83 zardoz-11
