b. Look in the /dev directory for links to these entries:
5. Create a file called /etc/hostname.pf <inst> for each SunFDDI/P IP
interface that you configure.
Each file must contain the host name assigned to the IP interface. These files
are used to configure the interfaces when the system is rebooted. If you
assign the primary host name to one of the FDDI interfaces, this host name
must be entered in the file
/etc/nodename .
6. Use ifconfig(1M) to configure the SunFDDI/P IP interfaces ( pf <inst>).
The host name assigned to the IP interface must be entered in the NIS map,
NIS+ tables, or in
/etc/hosts on the local machine. Configure the
interface using an ifconfig command of the form:
Note that the modifier netmask + takes the netmask defined in the
/etc/netmasks file. If this entry is missing, you must specify the netmask
explicitly using dot notation.
Provided the installation and configuration was successful, your SunFDDI/P
station is now active and you can send and receive data transparently across an
FDDI connection.
