Use the ifconfig command to assign an IP address to the network interface. Type
the following at the command line, replacing ip_address with the adapter’s IP
address:
Refer to the ifconfig (1M) man page and the Solaris documentation for more
information.
■ If you want a set-up that will remain the same after you reboot, create an
/etc/hostname.ce number file, where number corresponds to the instance
number of the ce interface you plan to use.
To use the adapter’s ce interface in the Step 1 example, create an
/etc/hostname.ce0 file, where 0 is the number of the ce interface. If the
instance number were 1, the filename would be
/etc/hostname.ce1 .
■ Do not create an /etc/hostname.ce number file for a Sun GigaSwift Ethernet
adapter interface you plan to leave unused.
■ The /etc/hostname.ce number file must contain the hostname for the
appropriate ce interface.
■ The host name should have an IP address and should be listed in the
/etc/hosts file.
■ The host name should be different from any other host name of any other
interface, for example:
/etc/hostname.ce0 and /etc/hostname.ce1 cannot
share the same host name.
The following example shows the /etc/hostname.ce number file required for a
system called zardoz that has a Sun GigaSwift Ethernet adapter ( zardoz-11) .
# ifconfig ce0 plumb ip_address up
# cat /etc/hostname.hme0
zardoz
# cat /etc/hostname.ce0
