Chapter 5 Configuring Network Interfaces 107
Note – During installation of the Solaris operating environment, the software
automatically detects the system’s on-board network interfaces and any installed
PCI network interface cards for which native Solaris device drivers exist. The
operating system then asks you to select one of the interfaces as the primary
network interface and prompts you for its host name and IP address. You can
configure only one network interface during installation of the operating system.
You must configure any additional interfaces separately, after the operating system is
installed. For more information, see “How to Configure Additional Network
Interfaces” on page 108.
What Next
After completing this procedure, the primary network interface is ready for
operation. However, in order for other network devices to communicate with the
system, you must enter the system’s IP address and host name into the namespace
on the network name server. For information about setting up a network name
service, consult the
Solaris System Administrator AnswerBook for your specific Solaris
release.
The
eri
and
ge
device drivers for the system’s on-board Ethernet interfaces are
automatically installed with the Solaris release. For information about operating
characteristics and configuration parameters for these drivers, refer to the following
documents:
■
Platform Notes: The eri FastEthernet Device Driver
■
Platform Notes: The Sun GigabitEthernet Device Driver
These documents are available on the Solaris on Sun Hardware AnswerBook , which is
provided on the Computer Systems Supplement CD for your specific Solaris release.
If you want to set up an additional network interface, you must configure it
separately, after installing the operating system. See:

Note –
This system conforms to the Ethernet 10/100BASE-T standard, which states
that the Ethernet 10BASE-T link integrity test function should always be enabled on
both the host system and the Ethernet hub. If you have problems establishing a
connection between this system and your hub, verify that the Ethernet hub also has
the link test function enabled. Consult the manual provided with your hub for more
information about the link integrity test function.
