5. Complete the client installation. Refer to your Solaris documentation for

6. Reboot the system.
7. Install the software drivers from the CD-ROM that came with the
SunFastEthernet Adapter. Refer to the CD-ROM documentation that came
with your adapter for driver installation instructions
(Part No: 804-5304-11).
3.3 Host File Configuration
After installing the SunFastEthernet Adapter software, you must create a
hostname.hme file for its Ethernet interface. You must also create both
an IP address and a host name for its Ethernet interface in the /etc/hosts
file.
To prepare your system for the SunFastEthernet Adapter:
1. Create a /etc/hostname.hme file, where refers to the
number of each SunFastEthernet Adapter channel you plan to use. For
example, use channel
hme0 for the first card; use channel hme1 for a
second card.
•
Do not create /etc/hostname.hme files for SunFastEthernet
Adapter channels you plan to leave unused. The
/etc/hostname.hme file must contain the host name for the
appropriate network interface.
•
The host name should have an IP address and should be entered in the
/etc/hosts file.
•
The host name should be different from any other host name of any other
interface, for example:
/etc/hostname.le0 and /etc/hostname.hme0
cannot share the same host name.
