How to Configure Additional Network
Interfaces
Before You Begin
Perform the following tasks to prepare an additional network interface:
■
Install the Sun Fire 880 server as described in “How to Install the Sun Fire 880
Server” on page 25.
■
If you are setting up a redundant network interface, see “About Redundant
Network Interfaces” on page 105.
■
If you need to install a PCI network interface card, follow the installation
instructions in the
Sun Fire 880 Server Service Manual . If you are hot-plugging the
card, be sure to read “About Hot-Pluggable and Hot-Swappable Components” on
page 144.
■
Attach a cable to the appropriate network connectors on the system rear panel;
see “How to Attach a Fiber-Optic Gigabit Ethernet Cable” on page 112 or “How to
Attach a Twisted-Pair Ethernet Cable” on page 114. If you are using a PCI
network interface card, see the documentation supplied with the card.
Note – All internal options (except disk drives and power supplies) must be
installed by qualified service personnel only. Installation procedures for these
components are covered in the
Sun Fire 880 Server Service Manual , which is included
on the Sun Fire 880 Documentation CD .
What to Do
1. Choose a network host name for each new interface.
The host name must be unique within the network. It can consist of characters and
numbers. Do not use a dot in the host name. Do not begin the name with a number
or a special character.
Usually an interface host name is based on the machine host name. For example, if
the machine is assigned the host name
sunrise
, the added network interface could
be named
sunrise-1
. The machine’s host name is assigned when Solaris software
is installed. For more information, see the installation instructions accompanying the
Solaris software.
