2. At a terminal prompt, type the following command to set the property to true:
3. Use the ifconfig command to stop all network activity travelling over the
adapter’s Ethernet interfaces.
For example, if you were using the adapter’s four interfaces, and they were named
qfe0 , qfe1 , qfe2 , and qfe3 , you would type:
Refer to the ifconfig (1M) man page and the Solaris documentation for more
information about this command.
4. Disconnect and unconfigure the adapter from the system using the appropriate
basic hot-swap command.
The command and usage may be unique to different systems, so refer to your
system’s service manual for the appropriate procedure.
The following example is for a Netra ct series system with a Sun Quad FastEthernet
adapter installed in the second CompactPCI slot (with the
pci_pci0:cpci_slot2
attachment point ID):
5. To make the adapter’s network interfaces use the local MAC addresses, connect
and configure the adapter to the system using the appropriate basic hot-swap
command.
The command and usage may be unique to different systems, so refer to your
system’s service manual for the appropriate procedure.
The following example is for a Netra ct series system with a Sun Quad FastEthernet
adapter installed in the second CompactPCI slot (with the
pci_pci0:cpci_slot2
attachment point ID):

# ifconfig qfe0 unplumb
# ifconfig qfe1 unplumb
# ifconfig qfe2 unplumb
