User`s guide
Use the ifconfig command with the appropriate interface.
Ask your network administrator for an appropriate IP address and netmask information. For
example, to enable an IPFC interface associated with fp instance 0 and an IP address of
192.9.201.10, type:
# touch /etc/notrouter
# ifconfig fcip0 inet 192.9.201.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
The ifconfig command is described in more detail in the ifconfig(1M) man page.
Use the command ifconfig -a to verify that the network is functioning.
The output of ifconfig -a should look like this:
lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
fcip0: flags=1001843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,MULTI_BCAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 192.9.201.10 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.9.201.255 ether 0:e0:8b:1:3c:f7
hme0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 3
inet 192.9.200.70 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.9.200.255
ether 8:0:20:fc:e9:49

To Congure the Host for Automatic Plumbing Upon
Reboot
Each network interface must have an /etc/hostname.interface le dening the name of the
IP address associated with it. For example, IPFC network interface fcip0 has a le named
/etc/hostname.fcip0.
Manually create a /etc/hostname.interface le that contains a single line that identies the
host name or interface IP address.
Make any additional entries to the /etc/inet/hosts le.
The Solaris 10 OS installation program creates the /etc/inet/hosts le with minimum
entries. You must manually make additional entries with a text editor. See the hosts(4) man
page for additional information.
The /etc/inet/hosts le contains the hosts database. This le contains the host names and the
primary network interface IP addresses, as well as the IP addresses of other network interfaces
attached to the system and of any other network interfaces that the machine must know about.
The following example shows an etc/inet/host le.
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost
192.9.200.70 sun1 #This is the local host name
192.9.201.10 fcip0 #Interface to network 192.9.201.10
