ifconfig to bring the interface up.
You can also use ifconfig to check on a particular interface, for example:
The string indicates that the
SunFastEthernet Adapter interface is correctly installed and configured.
4.3 Setting Up Diskless Clients
This section tells you how to set up a server so that you can boot and run
diskless client workstations over the SunFastEthernet Adapter. This setup
includes building a kernel that supports the SunFastEthernet Adapter
interface.
4.3.1 Setting Up to Write to the Server /usr Partition
If your server exports /usr read-only to the diskless client, then you need to
refer to the “System Administrators Guide” for the server operating system, to
find out how to export the
/usr filesystem read/write to the diskless client.
