3. Boot the operating system and log on to the system as superuser.
Type the following command at the system prompt and the superuser password:
4. Create an appropriate
/etc/hostname
file for the new interface.
The name of the file you create should be of the form
/etc/hostname.
typenum,
where type is the Ethernet type identifier (some common types are
hme
,
le
,
nf
, and
ie
) and num is the logical number of the interface according to the order in which it
was installed in the system.
For example, the standard interface provided on the system’s main logic board is
hme0
(type =
hme
, num =
0
). If you add a SunSwift™ PCI Ethernet adapter card as a
second
hme
interface, the file name should be
hostname.hme1
.
Note –
The documentation accompanying the Ethernet interface should identify its
type. Alternatively, you can enter the
show-devs
command from the
ok
prompt to
obtain a list of all installed devices.
The host name has an associated IP address that you enter in the
/etc/hosts
file.
See Step 6.
5. Type the host name, assigned in Step 1, to the
/etc/hostname
file for the new
interface.
Following is an example of the
/etc/hostname
files required for a machine called
zardoz
, which has two Ethernet interfaces—the standard on-board Ethernet
interface (
hme0
) and a second interface provided by a PCI Ethernet adapter card
(
hme1
). The host name will be
zardoz
to a network connected to the standard
hme0
interface, and
zardoz-1
to a network connected to the
hme1
interface.
