"/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@3,1" 7 "qfe"

In the example above, the four

SUNW,qfe@

x

,1

instances are from a Sun Quad

FastEthernet PCI adapter installed in slot 2. For clarity, the instance numbers are
bold.

2. Create an

/etc/hostname.qfe

file, where corresponds to the

instance number of each interface you plan to use.

If you wanted to use all of the adapter’s interfaces in Step 1 on page 11’s
example, you would need to create four files:

Filename

Instance
Number

Adapter Ethernet Channel (See
Figure 1–2)

/etc/hostname.qfe4

0

/etc/hostname.qfe5

/etc/hostname.qfe6

/etc/hostname.qfe7

Do not create

/etc/hostname.qfe

files for Sun Quad FastEthernet

PCI adapter channels you plan to leave unused.

4

The

/etc/hostname.qfe

file must contain the hostname for the

appropriate network interface.

4

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

/etc/hosts

file.

4

The host name should be different from any other host name of any other
interface, for example:

/etc/hostname.hme0

and

/etc/hostname.qfe2

cannot share the same host name.

Using the instance examples in Step 1 on page 11, the following example shows
the four

/etc/hostname.qfe

files required for a system called

zardoz

that has a Sun Quad FastEthernet PCI adapter (

zardoz-11

,

zardoz-12

,

zardoz-13

, and

zardoz-14)

.

# cat /etc/hostname.hme0
zardoz
# cat /etc/hostname.qfe4

zardoz-11
# cat /etc/hostname.qfe5

zardoz-12
# cat /etc/hostname.qfe6
zardoz-13

# cat /etc/hostname.qfe7
zardoz-14
